Comparative analysis of some models of mixed-substrate microbial growth
Mixed-substrate microbial growth is among the most intensely studied systems in molecular microbiology. Several mathematical models have been developed to account for the genetic regulation of such systems, especially those resulting in diauxic growth. In this work, we compare the dynamics of three such models (Narang, Biotech. Bioeng., 59, 116, 1998; Thattai&Shraiman, Biophys. J, 85, 744, 2003...
متن کاملMicrobial growth and substrate utilization kinetics
Microbial growth on and utilization of environmental contaminants as substrates have been studied by many researchers. Most times, substrate utilization results in removal of chemical contaminant, increase in microbial biomass and subsequent biodegradation of the contaminant. These are all aimed at detoxification of the environmental pollutants. Several microbial growth and biodegradation kinet...
متن کاملGrowth kinetics of suspended microbial cells: from single-substrate-controlled growth to mixed-substrate kinetics.
Growth kinetics, i.e., the relationship between specific growth rate and the concentration of a substrate, is one of the basic tools in microbiology. However, despite more than half a century of research, many fundamental questions about the validity and application of growth kinetics as observed in the laboratory to environmental growth conditions are still unanswered. For pure cultures growin...

متن کاملAnalysis of BIOLOG GN Substrate Utilization Patterns by Microbial Communities.
BIOLOG GN plates are increasingly used to characterize microbial communities by determining the ability of the communities to oxidize various carbon sources. Studies were done to determine whether the BIOLOG GN plate assay accurately reflects the catabolic potential of the inoculum used. To gain insight into which populations of microbial communities contribute to the BIOLOG patterns, denaturin...
