Effects of Temperature on Cell Growth
µmax = A e -E a / RT and
-E d / RT
k’d = A ’e
E a = activation energy for growth
≈ 10 to 20 kcal / mole
E d = activation energy for death
≈ 60 to 80 kcal / mole
As T ↑, kd’ ↑ faster than µmax, (µmax- kd’) ↓

pH Effects
→ acceptable pH is ± 1 to 2 pH units
→ pH range varies by organism
bacteria (most) pH = 3 to 8
yeast pH = 3 to 6
plants pH = 5 to 6
animals pH = 6.5 to 7.5
→ microorganism have the ability to control pH inside the cell,
but this requires maintainance energy
→ pH can change due to
• utilization of substrates; NH4+ releases H+, NO3- consumes H+
• production of organic acids, amino acids, CO2, bases

Structured Models:
Model divides cell mass into components (by molecule or by element)
and predicts how these components change as a result of growth.
These models are very complex and not used very often.
Unstructured Models:
Model assumes balanced growth where cell components do not
change with time. Much less complex and much more commonly
used. Valid for batch growth during exponential growth stage and
also for continuous culture during steady-state operation.
