Monod equation
Empirical model for microorganisms growth
The Monod equation is a mathematical model for the growth of microorganisms. It is named for French biochemist Jacques Monod, who proposed using an equation of this form to relate microbial growth rates in an aqueous environment to the concentration of a limiting nutrient.
From Wikipedia
The Monod equation is a mathematical model for the growth of microorganisms. It is named for French biochemist Jacques Monod, who proposed using an equation of this form to relate microbial growth rates in an aqueous environment to the concentration of a limiting nutrient. The Monod equation has the same form as the Michaelis–Menten equation, but differs in that it is empirical while the latter is based on theoretical considerations. The Monod equation is commonly used in environmental engineering. For example, it is used in the activated sludge model for sewage treatment.
