Abstract
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 μm is predicted by the theory. A survey of literature shows that this effect is present in a large majority of published data.Entities:
