In this paper, we consider a microorganism flocculation model with time delay. In this model, there may exist a forward bifurcation/backward bifurcation. By constructing suitable positively invariant sets and using Lyapunov-LaSalle theorem, we study the global stability of the equilibria of the model under certain conditions. Furthermore, we also investigate the permanence of the model, and an explicit expression of the eventual lower bound of microorganism concentration is given.

Keywords: Microorganism flocculation, Lyapunov functional, time delay, permanence, global stability.
