Abstract
We show how a particular spatial structure with a buffer globally stabilizes the chemostat dynamics with non-monotonic response function, while this is not possible with single, serial or parallel chemostats of the same total volume and input flow. We give a characterization of the set of such configurations that satisfy this property, as well as the configuration that ensures the best nutrient conversion. Furthermore, we characterize the minimal buffer volume to be added to a single chemostat for obtaining the global stability. These results are illustrated with the Haldane kinetic function.
