Abstract:
In the present paper, we study a diauxic growth that can be generated by a class of model at the mesoscopic scale. Although the diauxic growth can be related to the macroscopic scale, similarly to the logistic scale, one may ask whether models on mesoscopic or microscopic scales may lead to such a behavior. The present paper is the first step towards the developing of the mesoscopic models that lead to a diauxic growth at the macroscopic scale. We propose various nonlinear mesoscopic models conservative or not that lead directly to some diauxic growths.
