Modeling conserved nutrient limited growth: Effects of a bound substrate pool

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

An extension to the model previously presented by Brown et al. (1988) is developed for the case of a conserved substrate that is incorporated into the cell structure. It is shown that the model can predict both an inflection point and a period of essentially linear growth. Effects of the adjustable parameters and the ability to predict experimental results are determined.
