Abstract
Many of the general properties of living cells can be derived mathematically from simplified models which express certain of the basic principles of cellular organization. Such a mathematical model has been made more elaborate by including the effects of the reversibility of some of the processes of synthesis in the cell. The model proposed here embodies many of the properties of cells subject to the action of phages and under conditions of substrate imbalance.
