title: Control of Escherichia coli-Candida utilis continuous, competitive mixed-culture system using the dynamic matrix control algorithm.
abstract: The control of the continuous, competitive mixed culture of the yeast Candida utilis (ATCC 8205) and the bacterium Escherichia coli B/r (ATCC 12407) was examined. A modified version of the dynamic matrix control (DMC) algorithm was tested in simulation and then was successfully implemented. This represents the first report of the location and stabilization of a competitive mixed culture at a metastable equilibrium point using automatic control.
