In this paper, conformable fractional order differential equations with piecewise constant arguments are used for a modeling population density of a bacteria species in a microcosm. The discretization process of a differential equation with piecewise constant arguments gives us two dimensional discrete dynamical system in the interval t∈[n h,(n+ 1) h). By using the center manifold theorem and the bifurcation theory, it is shown that the discrete dynamical system undergoes flip and Neimark–Sacker bifurcation depending on the parameter r. It is observed that the model describes some biological phenomena for a bacteria population such as homogeneous bacteria distributions and inhomogeneous spatial population distributions. In addition, the effect of fractional order derivative on dynamic behavior of the system is investigated. Finally, all theoretical results are supported by numerical simulations
