Abstract
This paper considers a stochastic chemostat model with degenerate diffusion. Firstly, the Markov semigroup theory is used to establish sufficient criteria for the existence of a unique stable stationary distribution. The authors show that the densities of the distributions of the solutions can converge in L1 to an invariant density. Then, conditions are obtained to guarantee the washout of the microorganism. Furthermore, through solving the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation, the authors give the exact expression of density function around the positive equilibrium of deterministic system. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the theoretical results.
