The population dynamics of continuous mixed cultures with pure commensalism, commensalism plus competitive assimilation, pure mutualism, and mutualism plus competitive assimilation was disused. The population does not display oscillatory phenomena where there is a single interaction of commensalism or mutualism. Damped oscillations take place when two interactions (such commensalism and competitive assimilation or mutualism and competitive assimilation) coexist in the continuous mixed culture. The stability of these systems was discussed in detail.
