Fussmann et al. Science 2000; 290:1358-60. (Pub)

FC(N) = bC/(1+ KC/N)

FB(C) = bB/(1 + KB/C)

N = concentration of nitrogen

e = assimilation efficiency

d = dilution rate

C = concentration of Chlorella

R = concentration of reproducing Brachionus

B = concentration of total Brachionus

m = demographic mortality of Brachionus

l = decay of fecundity of Brachionus

b = maximum birth rates

K = half-saturation constants
