[Interaction in the phage-bacterium system]

The growth rate of the phage for Brevibacterium was studied as a function of the population of the host bacterium and its growth rate. The interaction was not additive when the phage-bacterium system was modeled in chemostat and in periodic regime. This fact was taken into account to describe more precisely and completely the qualitative characteristics of such a system as compared to models of the predator-victim type.
