Competition between the toxic and non-toxic strain in a CO2-limited chemostat. (a) The toxic strain Microcystis CYA140 displaces the non-toxic strain Microcystis CYA43. Iout represents the light intensity penetrating through the chemostat. (b) CO2 and bicarbonate concentrations. (c) Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and pH. (d) Total microcystin concentration (error bars indicate s.d.). Symbols represent chemostat data, lines show the model predictions. Parameter values are given in Tables 1 and 2.
