Abstract :
In this paper, we show how specific tools of automatic control, and in particular nonlinear observer theory can be exploited together with microbiological data to answer the important ecological problem of assigning a function to the species of ecosystems for a large class of biosystems. Preliminary experimental results are also presented.
