FAQ

What is the Specific Substrate Utilization Rate?
Specific Substrate Utilization Rate is the rate at which a microbial population consumes a substrate per unit of biomass present. Specific Substrate Utilization Rate is usually measured using the 1 Per Second for First Order Reaction Rate Constant. Note that the value of Specific Substrate Utilization Rate is always positive.
Can the Specific Substrate Utilization Rate be negative?
No, the Specific Substrate Utilization Rate, measured in First Order Reaction Rate Constant cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Specific Substrate Utilization Rate?
Specific Substrate Utilization Rate is usually measured using the 1 Per Second[s⁻¹] for First Order Reaction Rate Constant. 1 Per Millisecond[s⁻¹], 1 Per Day[s⁻¹], 1 Per Hour[s⁻¹] are the few other units in which Specific Substrate Utilization Rate can be measured.
