A community model of ciliate Tetrahymena and bacteria E. coli: Part I. individual-based models of tetrahymena and E. coli populations.

摘要: The dynamics of a microbial community consisting eucaryotic ciliate Tetrahymena pyriformis and procaryotic Escherichia coli in batch culture is explored by employing an individual-based approach. In this portion the article, Part I, population models are presented. Because both individual-based, individual organisms developed prior to construction models. use energy budget method which growth depends on gain from feeding sinks such as maintenance reproduction. These not limited simplifying assumptions about constant yield, Monod kinetics traditional microbal organisms. Population generated creating distinct types assigning each type number real individuals they represent. A compilation that vary phase cell cycle physiological parameters filtering rate for ciliates maximum anabolic bacteria. An advantage realistically describe cells resource varies density composition. II, core project, integrates into dynamic provides model analysis based upon available data.
