Abstract
A study of single-stage chemostat cultures of Colpoda steinii. Escherichia coli, and glucose is reported here. Two levels of glucose were fed as the limiting nutrient to the chemostat cultures. The cultures were studied at three holding times. Oscillations developed at short holding time and damped oscillations developed a long-residence times that approached steady-state conditions of populations of C. steinii and E. coli and concentrations of glucose. The experimental data are fitted to and compared with Jost's model.
