A semiempirical model, based on the presence of an inhibitory intermediate metabolite excreted to the broth, was developed to better predict the dynamic responses to shock loadings of Pseudomonas putida Q5 degrading phenol. Compared to the Haldane equation, the new model exhibited better prediction

Abstract
The successful design of large‐scale bioreactors requires the ability to predict both steady‐state and dynamic operating conditions. At the same time, mathematical models should not be too complex in order to reduce experimental work required to determine kinetic parameters. A simple model which predicts the behaviour of batch and transient continuous culture operations is presented and experimentally verified. The model is based on two regions of metabolic activity: the lag phase and the active phase. Pseudomonas putida growing on phenol as a substrate in a well‐mixed bioreactor was tested in three modes of operation: batch, continuous start‐up and continuous step‐change. The model is demonstrated to predict all the qualitative aspects of the dynamic phases of growth and is quantitatively accurate.

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** In cometabolic transformation of 4‐chlorophenol (4‐cp) in the presence of phenol and sodium glutamate (SG), a new biphasic growth pattern has been reported. This study investigates the physiological changes of __Pseudomonas putida__ P8 during the biphasic growth by means
A biological trickling filter for treatment of toluene-containing waste gas was studied. The overall kinetics of the biofilm growth was followed in the early growth phase. A rapid initial colonization took place during the first three days. The biofilm thickness increased exponentially, whereas the
