Growth death

The kinetics of cell growth/death under free and/or immobilized states assume a relevant role in the assessment of the amount of biophase present in the reactor. Obviously, the kinetics depends strongly on the carbon/energy source available in wastewaters or purposely added. With the exception of consortia collected from anaerobic digesters, single strain cultures used in azo-dye conversion are characterized by hindered growth under anaerobic conditions [26, 29, 41], For these biosystems, the duration of the anaerobic stage must be carefully monitored to preserve cell viability.

The stationary phase is usually followed by a death phase in which the organisms in the population die. Death occurs either because of the depletion of the cellular reserves of energy, or the accumulation of toxic products. Like growth, death is an exponential function. In some cases, the organisms not only die but also disintegrate, a process called lysis. 

The kinetic rates of growth, death, ethanol formation and substrate consumption are as follows ... 

The importance of calcium in the regulation of skin barrier homeostasis is apparent as calcium is involved in the regeneration process of skin barrier components.4 Hence, the balance of calcium level in skin is closely related to hydration of the skin. Apart from the skin, this ion plays a crucial role in various processes in the body, including the growth, death, differentiation, and function of immune cells. The role of calcium in skin is found to be more complex than previously assumed. The elucidation of calcium regulation mechanism in skin could be useful to understand and solve skin problems. 

The model proposed for mammalian cell cultures provides a description of the possible influence of four of the main medium components - glucose, glutamine, lactate and ammonia - on the rates of cellular growth, death and metabolism. It contains kinetic terms that quantify the influence of each of the components either in reducing the rate of cellular growth or in increasing the rate of cell death. 

The model was adapted from Kontoravdi et al. (2005) for cell growth/death, nutrient uptake, and major metabolism. The model was further developed to include description of cell cycle sub-populations. The cell cycle representation was based on the yeast model of Uchiyama Shioya (1999) and the tumour cell model of Basse et al. (2003). Eq.(l)-(4) express viable cell concentration(Xv[cell L" ]) in terms of cells in Gq/Gi, S, and G2/M phases. As a simplification in notation, Gq/Gi cells will be indicated as G unless otherwise stated. Xoi, Xs, X02/M [cell L" ] are concentrations of viable cells in Gq/Gi, S, and G2/M phase, respectively, whereas Fo ,[L h" ] is the outlet flowrate. F[L] is the cell culture volume b, ki, k [h" ] are the transition rates of cells from Gi to S, S to G2, and M to Gi respectively and /[Pg.110]
