Kinetics of nutrient-limited transport and microbial growth.
INTRODUCTION Nutrient-limited growth is the usual state for most microorganisms of the environment. In aquatic systems, nutrients are usually absorbed until concentrations decrease to levels that are sufficient for the growth of only those organisms with good transport systems, or ones that can grow very slowly. Many terrestrial systems are also restricted by nutrient concentrations, because mu...
متن کاملDiversity of microbial growth strategies in a limited-nutrient world.
The Sherpa population in Tibet is world-renowned for their extraordinary high-altitude fitness, as most famously demonstrated by Tenzing Norgay’s ability to conquer Mount Everest alongside Sir Edmund Hillary. The genetic adaptation behind this fitness has been a topic of hot debate in human evolution, with recent full genome sequencing efforts completed to look for candidate genes necessary for...
متن کاملNutrient and Microbial Transport from Feedlot Surfaces
Nutrient and microbial transport by runoff may vary at different locations within a beef cattle feedlot. If the areas making the largest contributions to nutrient and microbial transport can be identified, it may be possible to institute site-specific management practices to reduce runoff nutrient and microbial transport. The objectives of this study were to: a) measure selected feedlot soil pr...
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 کاملKinetics of microbial growth on pentachlorophenol.
Batch and fed-batch experiments were conducted to examine the kinetics of pentachlorophenol utilization by an enrichment culture of pentachlorophenol-degrading bacteria. The Haldane modification of the Monod equation was found to describe the relationship between the specific growth rate and substrate concentration. Analysis of the kinetic parameters indicated that the maximum specific growth r...
