Modeling of Scale-Dependent Bacterial Growth by Chemical Kinetics Approach

Figure 4

Experimental growth curves of various bacteria (open circles) best fitted by the CKA model (solid lines). (a) E. coli JM83: SA/V = 0.5 and 0.8 cm⁻¹, obtained parameter values are given in Table 3. (b) Salmonella typhimurium: SA/V = 0.5 and 0.8 cm⁻¹, obtained parameter values are given in Table 3. (c) Vibrio cholerae: SA/V = 0.4 and 1.0 cm⁻¹, shown curves illustrate that a satisfactory data fitting was rejected. All initial concentrations for the simulations are given in Figure 2.
