A model for diauxic growth.
A model is developed to predict batch and continuous culture behavior of fermentations on two different carbon and energy sources. The basic assumption of the model is that the permease for the favored substrate is constitutive, whereas the premease for the second substrate is subject to induction and catabolite repression. Simulations of the model show features of diauxic growth described in the literature.
