In hoehler-labgroup/methanogenlab: Methanogenesis Model

Determines the number of new cells generated using Monod kinetics for a given time step size based on the current chemistry of the system.

Description

Determines the number of new cells generated using Monod kinetics for a given time step size based on the current chemistry of the system.

Usage

growth(
  cells.initial,
  CO2,
  is.CO2.limiting = NA,
  Ks.CO2,
  H2,
  is.H2.limiting = NA,
  Ks.H2,
  umax,
  time.step
)

Arguments

cells.initial	Number of cells currently in the system.
CO2	Current dissolved CO2
is.CO2.limiting	Boolean. Determines whether to use the Monod equation for CO2. NA by default (limiting contribution determined by the proportion of current CO2 and Ks.CO2).
Ks.CO2	Half-saturation constant for CO2 (microorganism dependent), in molarity.
H2	Current dissolved H2
is.H2.limiting	Boolean. Determines whether to use the Monod equation for H2. NA by default (limiting contribution determined by the proportion of current H2 and Ks.H2).
Ks.H2	Half-saturation constant for H2 (microorganism dependent), in molarity.
umax	Maximum growth rate for the microorganism, hr-1
time.step	Step size in time, in hours. 0.1 hrs by default.

Value

Number of new cells made
