This article presents a general equation for substrate inhibition of microbial growth using a statistical thermodynamic approach. Existing empirical models adapted f r o m enzyme kinetics, for example, the Haldane-Andrews equation, often criticized for not being physically based for microbial growth
A structured model of substrate-utilization kinetics that encompasses dual-limitation conditions, caused by simultaneously low concentrations of the electron donor and the electron acceptor, is developed by incorporating the internal cofactor responses into the kinetic variables. The structured mode
