Document Summary
Innate physiological properties: requirements that must be met for growth. These properties make it easier to design experiments. These traits depend on the conditions the organism is currently growing. Growth rate: depends on the genetics of the organism and could be considered an innate trait. Absolute maximal growth rate: dependent on the optimal conditions/conditions of the environment. Varying environmental conditions will change the maximal growth rate. No matter if the change is to the substrate concentration or substrate content. Determine growth rate for different concentrations of substrate = k sub s. Amount of substrate required to support growth of half mu max. To establish k sub s we have to perform multiple growth curves with the same organism. Fermentation: a metabolic process where energy is produced via substrate-level phosphorylation. Excess electrons are placed onto organic compounds which get removed from the cell as a waste product. Fermentation process varies and depends on the organism that is being used.
