✦ Synopsis

A stochastic model for the main biochemical aspects of heterotrophic growth in bacteria is presented. One of its functions is to provide estimates for various quantities, relating to ATP produced in dissimilation and consumed in growth and maintenance. Application of the model to a representative sample of the experimental data indicates that the fashionable, informal, deterministic approach (use of point estimates) pervading the literature is unsatisfactory. New articulations of theory embodied in the present model are indispensable as a remedy.
