The possibility of controlling the development of microbial communities was investigated on the basis of experimentally determined requirements for basic nutrients in R, S, and M dissociants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. On media with the limitation conditions preset on the basis of the predictions of a mathematical model, exhaustion of glucose was experimentally confirmed for all monocultures and mixed cultures, as well as balanced consumption of glucose, nitrogen, and phosphorus by the R dissociant at the corresponding initial medium composition. The experimentally determined composition of mixed cultures was found to conform to the ones calculated using the mathematical model. The data obtained suggest the possibility of cyclic consumption of phosphorus by P. aeruginosa.
