title: Quantification of control of microbial metabolism by substrates and enzymes.
abstract: The control of substrates or enzymes on metabolic processes can be expressed in quantitative terms. Most of the experimental material found in the literature, however, has been obtained under non-standardized conditions, precluding definite conclusions concerning the magnitude of control. A number of representative examples is discussed and it is concluded that a quantitative analysis of the factors that control metabolism is essential for understanding the microbial behaviour.
