contents In this paper, we consider a minimum time control problem governed by a trait-structured chemostat model including mutation and one limiting substrate. Our first main result proves the well-posedness of the control-to-state mapping. We subsequently analyze the class of auxostat-type controls, feedback laws designed to regulate substrate concentration, and prove that the corresponding solutions converge to a stationary state of the system. These convergence results are used to show the reachability of a target set corresponding to the selection of a population with a low weighted averaged half-saturation constant. Finally, we show the existence of an optimal control for the minimum time problem associated with reaching the target set. These theoretical findings are completed by numerical simulations.
