Modeling of Scale-Dependent Bacterial Growth by Chemical Kinetics Approach
Scheme 1
Kinetic scheme composed of four irreversible processes to reproduce SA/V-dependent bacterial growth curves; B = aerobic bacteria, Ban = anaerobic bacteria, and N = nutrient. The parameter expression in step (III) represents the autoinhibition by CO2 where is a control parameter to tune the inhibition strength. The reaction arrow in step (IV) symbolizes the physical escape of CO2 from the system.
