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.
used by: nonlinear parameter estimation (Monod equation)
similar to: uni uni reaction (Michaelis Menten model without product - steady state assumption)
described by source: THE GROWTH OF BACTERIAL CULTURES
contains: Monod specific growth rate equation
named after: Jacques Monod
