Global dynamics of the chemostat with different removal rates and variable yields by Tewfik Sari, Frederic Mazenc

“…In this paper, we consider a competition model between $n$ species in a chemostat includingboth monotone and non-monotone growth functions, distinct removal rates and variable yields.We show that only the species with the lowest break-even concentration survives, provided that additional technicalconditions on the growth functions and yields are satisfied.We construct a Lyapunov function which reduces to the Lyapunov function used byS. …”

Fleming's penicillin producing strain is not Penicillium chrysogenum but P. rubens by J. Houbraken, J.C. Frisvad, R.A. Samson

“…Phylogenetic analysis of the most important penicillin producing P. chrysogenum isolates revealed the presence of two highly supported clades, and we show here that these two clades represent two species, P. chrysogenum and P. rubens. These species are phenotypically similar, but extrolite analysis shows that P. chrysogenum produces secalonic acid D and F and/or a metabolite related to lumpidin, while P. rubens does not produce these metabolites. …”
