This indicates Substrate-sufficient cultures are known to have differthat the excess substrate should cause uncoupling beent metabolic behaviors from substrate-limited cultures tween anabolism and catabolism, which leads to energy with regard to the substrate removal rate, maintenance spilling. Although the uncoupling between anabolism and catabolism has already been recognized in the micro-requirements, and growth yield (Brooke et al., 1990; biology literature, how to quantitatively describe such
