Summary The kinetic behavior of heterogenous microbial populations in biotechnological processes can be described with the aid of the Monod equation extended by a term kd for endogenous metabolism. The modified Monod equation is examined in detail to demonstrate the influence of the kd-term on the values of the Monod parameters μm and KS. The principles of kinetic analysis are also shortly considered in connection with fermenter design. The prerequisites for kinetic analysis together with parameter determination are demonstrated.
