Empirical model for microorganisms growth, named after Jacques Monod

Description

The Monod model explains how the specific growth rate of microorganisms depends on the availability of a limiting nutrient. It shows that the specific growth rate increases with nutrient concentration but eventually levels off when the microorganisms reach their maximum specific growth rate.
