Abstract:
We propose a new approach to the mathematical modelling of
microbial growth. Our approach differs from familiar Monod type models by
considering two phases in the physiological states of the microorganisms and
makes use of basic relations from enzyme kinetics. Such an approach may
be useful in the modelling and control of biotechnological processes, where
microorganisms are used for various biodegradation purposes and are often
put under extreme inhibitory conditions. Some computational experiments
are performed in support of our modelling approach.
