[Kinetic equations for the biosynthesis of metabolic products with biomass-specific growth rate as the determining...

Equations connecting the rate of metabolite biosynthesis and the specific growth rate were found analytically in the simplest case when both of the kinetic characteristics depended on the substrate concentration in the medium according to the Monod equation. The character of the relation in connection with the ratio of the kinetic constants for the growth and biosynthesis was analysed. It was shown that the equations based on the kinetic regularities were rather simple and correlated with the Luedeking and Piret equation when the kinetic constants were equal. The choice of the equation type was determined by the character of the curve convexicy of the relationship between q and mu. An example of experimental result approximation by one of the equations is presented.
