β¦ Synopsis
An attempt to justify Monod's bacterial growth model is presented. The justification is based on a mechanistic approach to growth which leads to a differential equation with delay and then to Monod's model. An unexpected increase of parameter K s with #m is predicted by the theory. A survey of literature shows that this effect is present in a large majority of published data.

The branched polymer growth model (BPGM) has been employed to study the kinetic growth of ramiΓΏed polymers in the presence of impurities. In this article, the BPGM is revisited on the square lattice and a subtle modiΓΏcation in its dynamics is proposed in order to adapt it to a scenario closer to rea
## Abstract The equations of Monod that describe the course of bacterial population growth and substrate concentration during continuous culturing are usually analysed with reference to steadyβstate conditions. These equations are analysed to give information on the course of bacterial population g
