Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) along with Cas proteins are a widespread immune system across bacteria and archaea. In this paper, a mathematical model in a chemostat is proposed to investigate the effect of CRISPR/Cas on the bacteriophage dynamics. It is shown that the introduction of CRISPR/Cas can induce a backward bifurcation and transcritical bifurcation. Numerical simulations reveal the coexistence of a stable infection-free equilibrium with an infection equilibrium, or a stable infection-free equilibrium with a stable periodic solution.

Keywords: Bacteriophage, bifurcation, bistability, backward, evolution.

Figure 3.  Bifurcation graphs for case $(C3)$. Panel (a) shows the forward bifurcation at $E_1$ and a transcritical bifurcation at $E_3$ when $\varepsilon=0.1$ and panel (b) demonstrates the bistable phenomena between $E_1, ~E_3$ and a transcritical bifurcation at $E_4$ when $\varepsilon=0.8$. H denotes a Hopf bifurcation point, LP means a fold bifurcation point and BP represents a branch point. The solid lines represent stable branches and dashed lines mean unstable branches
