Examples
-
Because the Gulf of Anadyr "cold pool" is maintained by sea-ice production/brine formation in the St Lawrence Island polynya, an enhanced and more energetic polynya resulting from warming is likely to maintain a chemostat-type bloom system, allowing a longer growing season and higher levels of production.
-
This could maintain a chemostat-type bloom system, as to the north of St. Lawrence Island [29], allowing a longer growing season and greater production and thus transport.
-
Evidence for the hypothesis derives from metabolic theory, direct studies of flux, studies of null and other types of alleles in Drosophila melanogaster and chemostat studies in Escherichia coli.
-
According to the original abstract, an unknown predator had invaded a chemostat containing algae.

-
In order to avoid “washing out” the growth rate must be at least equal to the dilution rate as determined by the flow rate and the volume of the chemostat, regardless of what any other population is doing.

-
For either of our models to be internally consistent, low but non-zero levels of empty cell walls proportional to the unicell density need to be present during the steady-state unicell-colony-predator chemostat.

In the wiki, you can learn things like how to operate a microfluidic chemostat, and the favorite slogan to describe synthetic biology: “Making life better, one part at a time.”
