Answer» The correct answer is (a) Total rate of microbial growth, The best I can explain: Biomass Growth Rate The most widely used expression for the growth rate of micro organisms is given by Monod: Total rate of microbial growth, where, mm = maximum specific growth rate X = micro organism concentration S = substrate concentration Ks = substrate concentration at one half the maximum growth rate Similarly, rate of substrate utilization, dS = k X S dt Ks+ S where, k = maximum specific substrate utilization rate. |
