Abstract: Abstract The measured substrate half-saturation coefficient (KS) in Monod growth rate equation is an important parameter to calculate the specific biomass growth rate. The measured KS could be affected by both the intrinsic biomass and… read more here.

Abstract: The two parameters of the Michaelis-Menten model, the maximum uptake rate and the half-saturation constant, are not stochastically independent, and the half-saturation constant is not a measure of nutrient affinity, as commonly assumed. Failure to… read more here.
