= Monod equation
{wiki=Monod_equation}
The Monod equation is a mathematical model that describes the growth rate of microbial populations as a function of the concentration of a limiting nutrient. It is commonly used in microbiology and environmental engineering to understand how microorganisms grow in response to nutrient availability. The equation is expressed as follows: \\\[ \\mu = \\mu_\{max\} \\cdot \\frac\{S\}\{K_s + S\} \\\] Where: - \\( \\mu \\) is the specific growth rate of the microorganism (e.
