Monod bacterial growth kinetics

Layer 3 — Biologyin the Microbiology subtree

Monod 1942: μ(S) = μ_max S/(K_s+S) describes specific growth rate vs limiting substrate. Combined with chemostat dilution rate D defines steady-state biomass X* = Y(S_in - S*). Underlies all industrial fermentation control and bacterial…
