Before revision: Application notes The rate of substrate utilization is related to the specific growth rate as follows: rsu = −μX/Y where: X is the total biomass (since the specific growth rate, μ is normalized to the total biomass) Y is the yield coefficient rsu is negative by convention.
After revision: Application notes The rate of substrate utilization is related to the specific growth rate as follows: rs = −μX/Y where: X is the total biomass (since the specific growth rate, μ is normalized to the total biomass) Y is the yield coefficient rsu is negative by convention.
