Description
This volume records a conference on the theme of microbial growth and population dynamics which was held to mark the retirement of Professor S. John Pirt from the University of London. Contributors included students, collaborators and friends of John Pirt and cover different aspects of microbial growth. This research impinges on many aspects of microbe and cell physiology and has applications in industry and biotechnology; an understanding of the growth conditions and patterns of microbial populations can lead to strategies for either discouraging or optimising such growth. A general overview of the subject introduces the book and is followed by discussions of the growth of mycelia, biophysics of cell wall growth, diffusion limited growth, energetics of growth at low growth rates, kinetics of secondary metabolite production, microbial population stability and optimization strategies.
Table of Contents
- The dynamics of microbial processes - a personal view, S.J.Pirt
- growth and morphology of "Fusarium graminearum" and other fungi in batch and continuous culture, A.P.J.Trinci et al
- recent extensions of the surface stress theory, A.L.Koch
- diffusion-limited growth, J.W.T.Wimpenny
- energetics of growth at low growth rates and its relevance for the maintenance concept, A.H.Stouthamer
- et al
- kinetics of secondary metabolite production, A.Trilli
- stability properties of microbial populations, M.Bazin
- et al
- optimization strategies in microbial process development and operation, A.T.Bull
- et al.

Description
This volume records a conference on the theme of microbial growth and population dynamics which was held to mark the retirement of Professor S. John Pirt from the University of London. Contributors- students, collaborators and friends of John Pirt- cover different aspects of microbial growth. This research impinges on many aspects of microbe and cell physiology, and has important implications in industry and biotechnology; an understanding of the growth conditions
and patterns of microbial populations can lead to a strategy for discouraging or optimising such growth. A general overview of the subject introduces the book and is followed by discussions of the growth of mycelia, biophysics of wall growth, diffusion limited growth, energetics of growth at low rates,
kinetics of secondary metabolite production, microbial population stability and optimization stategies.
