Abstract
It is conventional to describe the relationship between the specific rate of microbial growth and the concentration of the inhibitory substrate in terms of the AndrewsโEdwards equation. A novel method for establishing the constants of this equation is presented. The equation is transformed to a polynomial and the empirical data are approximated by a quadratic polynomial. The results obtained for the biodegradation of phenol in a mixed culture (activated sludge) are discussed.

It was found that the inhibition and enhancement by phloroglucinol of the chemiluminescence from the luminol-K 3 Fe(CN) 6 system were dependent on the pH of luminol solution and the concentration of phloroglucinol.
