Growth Kinetics
Introduction
- Autocatalytic reaction: The rate of growth is directly related
to cell concentration substrates + cells extracellular products + more cells S + X P + nX S: substrate concentration (g/L); X: cell mass concentration (g/L); P: product concentration (g/L); n: increased number of biomass. Net specific growth rate (1/time): t: the time
1 dX net X dt

g :
Gross specific growth rate (1/time)
The rate of loss of cell mass due to cell death or endogenous metabolism
kd :
Endogenous metabolism: during the stationary phase, the cell catabolizes cellular reserves for new building blocks and for energy-producing monomers.

Growth Kinetics
Introduction - Quantifying cell concentration:
- direct: no suspended solid and interference compounds.
cell mass concentration preferred dry weight, optical density (turbidity) (600-700nm Wave Length) cell number density: Petroff-Hausser slide (hemocytometer), plate counts,
etc.
Growth Kinetics
- Quantifying cell concentration: - indirect: direct method is inapplicable. (mold solid state fermentation) Cell mass can be determined by measurement of protein, DNA or ATP. e.g. 1mg ATP/g dry weight bacterial cell. If 100 mg ATP/L is measured, then the cell mass: 100 mg (ATP/L)/1 mg ATP/g dry cells=100 (g dry weight cells/L)
Growth Kinetics
- Growth patterns and kinetics in batch culture - growth phases In batch culture: - lag phase - logrithmic or exponential growth phase - deceleration phase - stationary phase - death phase
