In this paper we construct a mathematical model of two microbial populations competing for a single-limited nutrient with internal storage in an unstirred chemostat. First we establish the existence and uniqueness of steady-state solutions for the single population. The conditions for the coexistence of steady states are determined. Techniques include the maximum principle, theory of bifurcation and degree theory in cones.
