   Chemostat
   A `chemostat` (from `Chem`ical environment is `stat`ic) is a continuous culture It consists of two primary parts: a nutrient reservoir and a growth chamber. It can keep a bacterial culture growing at a reduced growth rate over an indefinite time period. Growth of the culture is controlled by the concentration of the limiting nutrient. The limiting nutrient is a essential growth factor necessary for bacterial growth but present in the media at a c...
