EFFECT OF pH OSCILLATIONS ON THE EXPERIMENTAL STABILITY OF A COMPETING MIXED CULTURE.

Brian H. Davison, Gregory Stephanopoulos

Research output: Contribution to journal › Conference article › peer-review

Abstract

Two microorganisms, E. coli and S. cervisiae competing for glucose, were maintained in a stable coexistent cycle by oscillating the pH in a chemostat. The mixed system was unstable at constant pH; the variation by design favored one organism than the other. Thus varying conditions are experimentally demonstrated to be one explanation of competitive coexistence.
