In food chain models the lowest trophic level is often assumed to grow logistically. Anomalous behaviour of the solution of the logistic equation and problems with the introduction of mortality have recently been reported. As predation on the lowest trophic level is a kind of mortality, one expects
Microbial growth in a closed system can be described by a model based on the continuous logistic equation on which a Fermi's term is superimposed. The first component of the combined model accounts for growth and the second for decay. It has the form: where N(t) and N o , are the instantaneous and
