摘要
A nonlinear matrix model of a size-structured microbial population growing on a, scarce nutrient in a chemostat, derived by Gage et al. [6], is modified to include two competing populations. It is shown that competitive exclusion results. The winner is the population able to grow at the lower nutrient concentration.
