{"product_id":"consumer-resource-relationship-9781119543992","title":"Consumer-Resource Relationship","description":"\u003cp\u003eBetter known as the \u0026amp;quote;predator-prey relationship,\u0026amp;quote; the consumer-resource relationship means the situation where a single species of organisms consumes for survival and reproduction. For example, Escherichia coli consumes glucose, cows consume grass, cheetahs consume baboons; these three very different situations, the first concerns the world of bacteria and the resource is a chemical species, the second concerns mammals and the resource is a plant, and in the final case the consumer and the resource are mammals, have in common the fact of consuming. In a chemostat, microorganisms generally consume (abiotic) minerals, but not always, bacteriophages consume bacteria that constitute a biotic resource. 'The Chemostat' book dealt only with the case of abiotic resources. Mathematically this amounts to replacing in the two equation system of the chemostat the decreasing function by a general increasing then decreasing function. This simple change has greatly enriched the theory. This book shows in this new framework the problem of competition for the same resource.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53910281748759,"sku":null,"price":18187.14,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9781119543992.jpg?v=1784100522","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/te\/products\/consumer-resource-relationship-9781119543992","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
