Summary This paper provides a simple model of nutrient limited periodic cyclostat growth for algae. The basic growth function is assumed to be a time dependent variation of the empirical growth equation developed by Droop (1968). The authors also present the relations for n species' cyclostat coexistence and a stability analysis for the model growth equation. The model, although limited in some respects, agrees very well with available experimental data on Euglena gracilis. The significance of the time dependent amplitude functions developed in this study is also discussed.
