title: Model of plasmid-bearing, plasmid-free competition in the chemostat with nutrient recycling and an inhibitor.
abstract: In this paper, we consider competition between plasmid-bearing and plasmid-free organisms with nutrient recycling and an inhibitor in a chemostat-type systems. We discuss the cases where the nutrient is supplied at a constant rate and the nutrient supply is time-dependent. For each case, we obtain criteria for the boundedness of solutions and persistence.
