The authors study the system \[ u_{1,t}= \Delta_xu_1- u_1u^m_2,\quad u_{2,t}=d\Delta_x u_2+ u_1u^m_2,\tag{1} \] with nonnegative initial data \((u_1,u_2)|_{t=0}= (a_1(x),a_2(x))\), \(a_i(x)\in C^0_{b,u}(\mathbb{R}^n)\), \(i=1,2\), \(C^0_{b,u}(\mathbb{R}^n)\) the space of uniformly bounded continuous functions on \(\mathbb{R}^n\). Here \(x\in\mathbb{R}^n\), \(n\), \(m\) are positive integers, \(d>1\) is a constant (the Lewis number), and \(\Delta_x\) is the \(n\)-dimensional Laplacian. The system (1) describes the evolution of mass fraction of reactant \(A\) and that of the product \(B\) for the autocatalytic chemical reaction of the form \(A+mB\to(m+ 1)B\). The existence of a unique solution \((u_1,u_2)\in C([0,\infty)\); \((C^0_{b,u}(\mathbb{R}^n))^2)\cap C^1((0,\infty)\); \((C^0_{b,u}(\mathbb{R}^n))^2)\) is proved; large time asymptotic bounds for \(u_1\), \(u_2\) are given.
