  2. Monod equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monod_equation

    μ is the growth rate of a considered microorganism, μ max is the maximum growth rate of this microorganism, [S] is the concentration of the limiting substrate S for growth, K s is the "half-velocity constant"—the value of [S] when μ/μ max = 0.5. μ max and K s are empirical (experimental) coefficients to the Monod equation. They will ...

  3. Fick's laws of diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fick's_laws_of_diffusion

    Fick's first law relates the diffusive flux to the gradient of the concentration. It postulates that the flux goes from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration, with a magnitude that is proportional to the concentration gradient (spatial derivative), or in simplistic terms the concept that a solute will move from a region of high concentration to a region of low ...

  4. Cell growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_growth

    Cell growth refers to an increase in the total mass of a cell, including both cytoplasmic, nuclear and organelle volume. [1] Cell growth occurs when the overall rate of cellular biosynthesis (production of biomolecules or anabolism) is greater than the overall rate of cellular degradation (the destruction of biomolecules via the proteasome, lysosome or autophagy, or catabolism).

  5. Bacterial growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_growth

    Exponential growth cannot continue indefinitely, however, because the medium is soon depleted of nutrients and enriched with wastes. The stationary phase is often due to a growth-limiting factor such as the depletion of an essential nutrient, and/or the formation of an inhibitory product such as an organic acid. Stationary phase results from a ...

  6. Hill equation (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_equation_(biochemistry)

    The horizontal axis is the concentration of the ligand. As the Hill coefficient is increased, the saturation curve becomes steeper. In biochemistry and pharmacology, the Hill equation refers to two closely related equations that reflect the binding of ligands to macromolecules, as a function of the ligand concentration.

  7. Michaelis–Menten kinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michaelis–Menten_kinetics

    in which e is the concentration of free enzyme (not the total concentration) and x is the concentration of enzyme-substrate complex EA. Conservation of enzyme requires that [28] = where is now the total enzyme concentration. After combining the two expressions some straightforward algebra leads to the following expression for the concentration ...

  9. Treadmilling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treadmilling

    A cytosolic concentration of subunits below both the C C + and C C − ends results in subunit removal at both ends; Note that the cytosolic concentration of the monomer subunit between the C C + and C C − ends is what is defined as treadmilling in which there is growth at the plus end, and shrinking on the minus end.
