Let \(u(t)\), \(t\in [0,1]\), be the mass of microorganisms under repetitive cyclic production in a vat and let \(M\) be the total mass of microorganisms plus nutrient. This can be modeled by the differential equation \[ u'(t)= u(t)h(t, u(t))(M- u(t)),\quad t\in [0,1], \] with the boundary condition \(u(0)= B=(1- \varepsilon)u(1)\), with \(B\geq 0\), \(0\leq\varepsilon< 1\), and \(h\) is a smooth positive function. It is shown that there are no solutions if \(B/(1- \varepsilon)\) is large and that, under suitable hypotheses, there are at least two monotonous solutions, which depend continuously on \(B\) and \(\varepsilon\), when \(B\) and \(\varepsilon\) are sufficiently small.
