Chemostat SelectionAs mentioned in the project overview page, one of the main concepts in our project is the possibility to select for organisms with reduced genome size. To achieve this we have thought of letting our system develop in a continuous environment with nucleotide limitation and base the selection method on the difference in growthrate. The aim of this model is to show the applicability of this concept and to determine the parameters for the operation of the chemostat in the lab. We give a short introduction to continuoous cultures and proceed to develop the used model. Cemostat basicsCompetition in the chemostatPulse |
