We are a research group working on the development of a Bioreactor =
Dynamic Model in the UTN-Confluencia University, Neuquen, NW Patagonia, =
Argentina. Your e-m address was obtained from Internet.

Preliminar representations of the reactor included substrate & water =
pumping, temperature & acidity control and gas-expansion dynamics in =
combination with the Monod (Michaelis-Menten) monotonic function for the =
specific microbial growth rate (M) in terms of substrate concentration =
(S).

Now interested in incorporating substrate- and biomass-concentration (S =
& X) inhibitory effects on the anaerobic reaction, we are considering =
the application of the Haldane law M=3DS*Mmax/(Km+S+S**2/Ki). While =
bacteria death is accounted for by the Ki inhibition parameter applied =
to the quadratic term, the linear growth of the colonies is specified by =
the Michaelis-Menten constant determined by the enzyme-substrate =
combination used. Similarly, the Contoise law M=3DS*Mmax/(Kc*X+S) =
represents the biomass concentration inhibition through the Contoise =
constant Kc.

At this point of our work we are searching for any substantiated data =
(either measured or expected) for the (Km/Ki) ratio, the Kc constant and =
the typical biomass concentration applicable to an anaerobic reaction =
with mesophilic bacteria. Should you have available any feasible range =
for this inhibitory data, we would appreciate if you could forward it to =
the address below.
