A model for noninhibitory microbial growth.
A model for noninhibitory microbial growth has been developed which is superior to the Monod model in that it can predict the decline in steady-state growth yields at both the slow and the fast specific growth rates. The model parameters are evaluated from data obtained for steady-state, phenol-limited Pseudomonas putida growth using a conventional 1-dm(3) cheniostat. The model also has been successfully applied to Mor and Fiechter's data for cheniostat yeast cultures.
