In this contribution we resolve the long-standing dispute whether or not the Monod constant (K(S)), describing the overall affinity of an organism for its growth-limiting substrate, can be related to the affinity of the transporter for that substrate (K(M)). We show how this can be done via the control of the transporter on the specific growth rate; they are identical if the transport step has ...

When steady state chemostat cultures are abruptly exposed to substrateexcess conditions, they exhibit long lags before adjusting to the new environment. The identity of the rate-limiting step for this slow response can be inferred from the initial yields and specific growth rates measured by exposing steady state cultures at various dilution rates to substrate-excess conditions. We measured the...

There is no evidence that previous studies, available to Iran’s inflation literature, have used spectral methodology to analyze a possible relationship between inflation and its main determinants within a specific period. Accordingly, the present study investigates the effects of money growth, real output growth, output gap and interest rate changes on inflation at low and high frequencies...

Tuning recombinant protein expression is an approach which can be successfully employed for increasing the yield of recombinant protein production in high cell density cultures. On the other hand, most of the previous results reported the optimization induction conditions during batch and continuous culture of recombinant E. coli, and consequently fed-batch culture have received less attention....

 Environmental enrichment is one of the methods for improving fish growth performance. In the present trial, the effects of both light color and music on growth performance and survival of goldfish (Carassius auratus) (initial mean weight: 4.15±0.08 g) were investigated for 2 months. Two light color treatments (red light and white light) and three music treatments (M0: without music, M30:30 min...

backgrounds: optimization of microbial compositions and load in live food during the process of bioencapsulation is one of the most important concerns in aquaculture, as it can promote the growth and feeding parameters of fish larvae. objectives: the aim of this study was to determine the growth and feeding performance of persian sturgeon larvae fed with bioencapsulated d. magna with saccharomy...
