  • Employing numerical simulations to validate theoretical findings.

    • Main Results:

    • A Hopf bifurcation occurs at a critical time delay when nutrient in-flow is low.
    • Numerical simulations suggest the possibility of four-species coexistence.
    • Delayed nutrient recycling influences the stability and dynamics of competing microbial populations.

    Conclusions:

    • The model demonstrates complex dynamics arising from nutrient recycling and time delays.
    • Hopf bifurcation indicates potential for oscillatory behavior and shifts in species dominance.
    • The study highlights the importance of considering recycling and delays for realistic microbial ecosystem modeling.
