Notes:
It is conventional to describe the relationship between the specific rate of microbial growth and the concentration of the inhibitory substrate in terms of the Andrews-Edwards equation. A novel method for establishing the constants of this equation is presented. The equation is transformed to a polynomial and the empirical data are approximated by a quadratic polynomial. The results obtained for the biodegradation of phenol in a mixed culture (activated sludge) are discussed.
