MONOD EQUATION
-An empirical model for quantifying specific growth rate when one of
the substrates have become limited.
-For substrate-limited growth
-Substrate concentration dependent and is similar to saturation kinetics
(similar also to Langmuir isotherm for adsorption saturation kinetics or
the Michaelis-Menten kinetics)

m .S
=
S + Ks

Where;
u = specific growth rate
S = limiting substrate concentration (g/L)
Ks = affinity constant/ saturation constant when u = 0.5 um
um = maximum specific growth per hour

Specific growth rate / h

INTERPRETATION OF KS
Affinity constant or saturation constant is inversely proportional to
the to the affinity of the organism for its substrate
Bacteria with a high affinity for substrate has a low Ks and vice
versa. Low Ks is good for the bacteria or any other microorganism
to grow.
The higher the Ks the less growth

Parameters (um and Ks) are determined by linearization
(double-reciprocal plot) or nonlinear curve fitting.

Relationship between dependent variable and S determined
experimentally, in the lab
Set conditions (T, chemistry, enzyme or microbe)
Measure the u for each S
Plot u vs. S; analyze data for parameter estimation

EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE
ON CELL GROWTH
Classification
Psychrophiles (Topt < 200C)
Mesophiles (200C < Topt < 500C)
Thermophiles (Topt > 200C)
General rule: rate of reaction increases 2x for every 10 C0 increase in
temperature unless specified (rate of reaction = rate of cell growth)
An optimal growth is observed (maxima). Beyond which cell death
occur rapidly
Temperature affects yield coefficient

EFFECT OF pH ON CELL GROWTH


pH optimum ranges for every MO
Bacteria (most) = 3 - 8
Yeast = 3 - 6
Plants = 5 - 6
Animals = 6.5 7.5
Microorganisms have the ability to control pH inside the cell
pH can change due to;
Release of organic acids and bases
NH4+ consumption ; reduction of NO3 Utilization of substrates
When product is acidic (i.e. citric acid)
This needs for a buffer of the reaction solution
