The diauxic growth curve mainly found in E.coli in the case of two types of nutrients is found in Batch culture is based on which equation?(a) Monod equation(b) Michaelis – Menten equation(c) Schrodinger equation(d) Lyapunov equationThis question was posed to me during an interview.This intriguing question originated from Data Analysis in chapter Presentation and Analysis of Data of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

The correct option is (a) Monod equation

The explanation: Jacques Monod discovered diauxic growth in 1941 during his EXPERIMENTS with Escherichia coli and BACILLUS subtilis. While growing these bacteria on various combinations of sugars during his doctoral thesis RESEARCH, Monod OBSERVED that often two distinct growth phases are CLEARLY visible in batch culture.
