title: Kinetic constants for aerobic growth of microbial populations selected with various single compounds and with municipal wastes as substrates.
abstract: The general applicability of the Monod relationship between the logarithmic growth rate constant and substrate concentration was studied for heterogeneous populations metabolizing a variety of substrates including concentrated municipal sewage. It was found that growth could be described by the Monod equation, mu = mu(m)/k(s) + s. The kinetic "constants" for heterogeneous populations growing on concentrated sewage were comparable to those found with glucose as substrate.
