Displacement Phenomenon of Slow and Fast Growing Species in Microorganisms Association

In the process of the biological treatment of sewage, the multicomponent system of the substrate is converted by an association of microorganisms. The composition of species of microorganisms in the system depends on the substrate available and on the conversion of substrate. For this, a mathematical model is presented, which describes the change of the composition of species according to the rate of growth of the individual species on the basis of load (substrate available/biomass). The diversity of the biological system increases with decreasing load. The model is tested by practical examples.
