Maximum specific growth rate (µmax) of a microorganism is calculated by taking the (ln = loge, X = biomass, t = time)
-
- slope of ln X vs t of the growth cycle
- slope of ln X vs t during the exponential growth phase
- slope of X vs t
- slope of X vs t during the exponential phase of growth
Correct Option: B
By Monod model, ln X Vs t graph is linear and slope = μ, where μ is specific growth rate, μmax is maximum specific growth rate. It represents the log phase of the growth.
