Biological reaction kineticsMicroorganisms decay:• Considered as 1 st order kineticsRate ofdecay bX• Physiological aspects described by decay: cell lysis andendogenous respiration and predationEnvironmental factors (organic substrate, O 2, etc..) that affect growth:Required substances: Modelled as switching functions thatactivate or deactivate reactions if the substance is present orabsent:SKOOK SK SOOGrowth Rates are described by simple Monod KineticsArrhenius functions: to show the influence of environmentalfactors such as TOO66
