| Abstract: | A microbial community model is proposed that accounts for byproducts of one strain being nutrients for another and for cells passing in and out of states of torpor. It is shown that such models can sustain the propagation of a nutrient pulse as observed, for example, in methanogenesis.This work was supported in part by NSF Grant DMS9206677 and in part by NSF STC Center in Microbial Ecology, Michigan State University. |
