[A mathematical model of inhibition of the growth of Candida utilis by heavy metal ions].
A mathematical model described in this paper, contrary to other models, takes into account transport effects during penetration of the inhibitor into the cell of a micro-organism, and also a possibility of partial inactivation of the inhibitor during formation of complexes. It changes into models of Monod and Monod--Jerusalimsky at extreme values of parameters. Theoretical steady-state concentrations of the biomass in chemostat predicted on the basis of this model coincided with values obtained in experiments with limitation of growth of Candida utilis by silver ions and copper ions.
