Froment, De Wilde & Bischoff section 1.5.2 prints the Monod equation as eq. (1.5.2-1), defines its two constants by exactly two properties - the asymptote r_m and the half-rate point K_S - and couples it to the biomass balance eq. (1.5.2-2); its Chapter 1 reference list carries the exact 1949 citation this case catalogues. Rawlings & Ekerdt p. 596 prints the same equation beside four alternatives - Blackman, Tessier, Moser, Contois - and calls it ‘the simplest form of the Langmuir adsorption isotherm’. This page asks whether data can pick Monod out of that family, on the one batch run Levenspiel’s Problem 29.18 reprints as Monod’s own reported measurements, and answers with numbers. Two of the four alternatives are not distinguishable AT ALL by a constant-yield batch experiment: Moser contains Monod at n = 1, and CONTOIS IS EXACTLY MONOD REPARAMETERISED once the yield fixes X as an affine function of S - proved in sympy, and confirmed by two independent fits that land on the same curve, agreeing to better than 1e-3 in both constants (the exact residuals are optimiser exit tolerances, checked on every run as bounds rather than compared as values). Of the two that are, Tessier needs 10.3 replicates of this design and Blackman 1.30. And the ranking of the five on this run is decided by the DATA REDUCTION, not by the data: fit as the exercise instructs, and Monod is last of the four two-parameter laws and Moser’s exponent n = 1.93 clears the 95 % F test - a verdict that is CO-CAUSED by the one printed cell the page flags, because at that cell’s balance-implied value route A’s F falls to 5.45, below the same 7.71. Do the interval average exactly instead - same seven growth rates, same models, no new parameters - and Monod’s residual falls by 42 %, n drops to 1.51, and F falls from 12.3 to 1.44. A seeded parametric bootstrap prices that, with every draw’s fit REFINED off the search grid rather than read from it: on data the Monod model itself generates, the reduction rejects Monod 36.5 % +- 1.1 % of the time against a nominal 5 %, and drives the median fitted exponent to 1.61 +- 0.0074 - while the same test on data drawn from route A’s OWN model, the control, sits AT nominal size, 4.95 % +- 0.5 % against 5.00 %, and returns 1.01 +- 0.0049 (those six numbers are Monte-Carlo estimates at 2000 draws - FOUR FREQUENCIES AND TWO MEDIANS, not six frequencies - and every quotation of them carries its sampling error: at that draw count the four frequencies are seed-independent in their leading figure only, the two medians to at least two figures). So the small-sample F approximation at n = 7 is essentially exact and is not the culprit; the reduction is, and the observed F = 12.3 has p = 0.23 +- 0.0094 against a properly generated Monod null. One printed cell is reported and not repaired: the table’s fourth interval-average substrate concentration is off the constant-yield line the other six rows fix to R^2 = 0.99996. Monod = Langmuir is proved as an identity; Monod and Blackman are shown to share BOTH of Froment’s defining properties exactly while differing by exactly r_m/3 at the switch; and the experiment that does separate Monod from Contois is named and priced - a chemostat feed sweep, where the critical dilution rates cross exactly at the batch run’s own substrate intercept and differ by a factor 1.83 at S_f = 20.
Monod: what a growth curve can and cannot pick out of the family
Catalog ID: J4.1 · Structures: S1 · Tier: T0
Background
The origin of this case was not consulted. Monod, J., The growth of bacterial cultures, Annu. Rev. Microbiol. 3, 371-394 (1949) is not on disk and could not be obtained. This page is built under the gallery’s textbook-canonical-source rule from a monograph that states the model, attributes it, and carries it:
Froment, G. F., De Wilde, J. & Bischoff, K. B., Chemical Reactor Analysis and Design, 3rd edn, John Wiley & Sons (2011), ISBN 978-0-470-56541-4, section 1.5.2 “Microbial Kinetics”, book pp. 26-29 (PDF 68-71).
Section 1.5.2 prints the rate law as eq. (1.5.2-1), names \(K_S\) “the Monod- or saturation constant”, records that “in the original Monod equation, \(r\) is represented by \(\mu\), \(r_m\) by \(\mu_{max}\) and \(C_A\) by \(S\)”, and couples it to the biomass balance eq. (1.5.2-2) and the yield relation eq. (1.5.2-3). Its Chapter 1 reference list, on book p. 58, carries
Monod, J., Annu. Rev. Microbiol., 3, 371 (1949).
- the exact citation this case catalogues, read at digit scale on a 300 ppi crop. So the origin is identified by the book rather than implied, which is what the gallery’s E1.1 test asks for. Everything this page says about Monod is bounded by what Froment prints about him. There is no sentence of the form “Monod showed”, “Monod assumed” or “Monod found” anywhere on this page, in
meta.yamlor inREADME.md; that sweep was done deliberately, because attribution drift is the defect class that has cost this repository two pages.
The question this page is for comes from a second book. Rawlings, J. B. & Ekerdt, J. G., Chemical Reactor Analysis and Design Fundamentals, 2nd edn (2025 printing), book p. 596, prints the Monod equation as one of five:
| as printed on p. 596 | |
|---|---|
| Monod | \(\mu = \mu_m S/(K_s + S)\) |
| Blackman | \(\mu = \mu_m\) for \(S \ge 2K_s\); \(\mu = \mu_m S/(2K_s)\) for \(S < 2K_s\) |
| Tessier | \(\mu = \mu_m(1 - e^{-K_s S})\) |
| Moser | \(\mu = \mu_m S^n/(K_s + S^n)\) |
| Contois | \(\mu = \mu_m S/(K_{sx} X + S)\) |
and adds: “We recognize the Monod equation [12] for cell growth rate as the simplest form of the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and the resulting Hougen-Watson kinetics for reaction rates on catalyst surfaces discussed in Chapter 5.” Its reference [12] is the same 1949 paper, with the page range. Rawlings & Ekerdt is used here as a model catalogue and for its chemostat balances, not as a second source for the rate law - the E1.1 target was pinned to Froment before this page was started, and nothing is adjudicated between the books.
So: can data pick Monod out of that family? The answer below is in four parts - two of the four alternatives are not separable by a batch experiment at all and this is exact; the other two are separable and the page prices them; the apparent answer on the one real dataset available is set by the data reduction rather than by the data; and the experiment that would settle the remaining question is a different one.
The data. Levenspiel, O., Chemical Reaction Engineering, 3rd edn (1999), Problem 29.18, book p. 644, prints seven time intervals of a batch run and introduces them as “the reported data for one of his runs”, attributing them to “Monod, 1958, p. 74” - the second edition of Recherches sur la Croissance des Cultures Bacteriennes, not the 1949 paper this case catalogues. That book is not on disk either and was not consulted. Levenspiel’s own account, quoted as his, is that Monod proposed the equation “in 1939, as part of his thesis”, that “the thesis was published as a book in 1948”, and that it “was later condensed and translated into English in 1949”. Which of those documents actually prints this table is not established here.
Scope. Substrate inhibition - Froment’s eq. (1.5.2-4), attributed there to Graef and Andrews [1973], and Rawlings’ \(\mu = \mu_m S/(K_s + S + K_1S^2)\) - is case J4.2 and gets no quantitative treatment on this page. Williams’ structured model, eqs. (1.5.2-5) to (1.5.2-8) in the same section, is J4.9’s.

Froment eq. (1.5.2-1), verbatim, is
\[r = \frac{r_m C_A}{K_S + C_A} \tag{1.5.2-1}\]
with \(r\) “a fractional or specific growth rate of biomass”, \(r_m\) “the maximum specific rate of biomass growth, i.e., the rate when the substrate concentration is not limiting (\(C_A\) much larger than \(K_S\))”, and \(K_S\) “the concentration of substrate \(A\) at which the rate equals half of its maximum value, \(r_m\)”. It is then coupled to the biomass balance
\[r_B = \frac{{\rm d}C_B}{{\rm d}t} = r\,C_B = \frac{r_m C_B C_A}{K_S + C_A} \tag{1.5.2-2}\]
and closed by a constant yield,
\[-\frac{{\rm d}C_A}{{\rm d}t} = \frac{1}{y_B}\frac{{\rm d}C_B}{{\rm d}t}. \tag{1.5.2-3}\]
A note on the text layer, corrected. This book is born-digital and its words survive extraction, but its equations do not: every Symbol-font operator in them extracts as an unmappable Private-Use-Area glyph, U+F02D for the minus, U+F03D for the equals, U+F02B for the plus. On eq. (1.5.2-3) all three modes of pdftotext emit the leading minus as U+F02D, which renders as nothing or as tofu - so the extracted line looks like dC A dC B / dt y B dt, an equation with no operators at all, and a reader who copies what is visible gets a sign error for free. The character is therefore not dropped and the failure is not specific to the sign: the = on the same line and the = and + of eq. (1.5.2-1) go the same way. The 300 ppi render carries all of them, and every transcription on this page was read there. This corrects the diagnosis the just-published J4.6 page gives for eq. (1.5.1-17) on p. 26 of this same book - its “the extractor dropped the leading term” is the same phenomenon read the same wrong way, since -layout returns that line as = C A <U+F02D> E <U+F02B> ... with the leading term present. The lesson in both places is right and unchanged: read the render, never the text layer.
Five identities come first, before any data. Three of them decide what an experiment can possibly do, and all five are proved symbolically below rather than asserted:
- Monod is the Langmuir isotherm, which is what Rawlings & Ekerdt say on p. 596. \(\theta = KC/(1+KC) = C/(K^{-1}+C)\), so \(K_S = 1/K\) and nothing else changes. The gallery has that isotherm at
J1.1and the enzyme form atJ4.6; they are one algebraic family. - Monod and Blackman share both of the properties Froment uses to define \(r_m\) and \(K_S\). Blackman’s law reaches \(\mu_m\) exactly, and at \(S = K_S\) it gives exactly \(\mu_m/2\) - because \(K_S < 2K_S\) puts that point on its linear branch, where \(\mu = \mu_m S/(2K_S)\). So the asymptote and the half-rate point, the two properties by which the constants are defined, do not distinguish the two laws at all. What does: at the branch switch \(S = 2K_S\) the two differ by exactly \(\mu_m/3\), and on the lower branch the largest gap is \(\mu_m(3-2\sqrt2)/2 = 0.0858\,\mu_m\) at \(S = (\sqrt2-1)K_S\). Both are closed form and both are checked numerically against a root-found maximum.
- Moser contains Monod at \(n = 1\). The two are nested, so no data can reject Moser; the only meaningful question is whether \(n\) differs from 1, and that is an F test.
- Contois is Monod on any constant-yield batch run - and this is the result that decides most of the page. Constant yield makes the biomass an affine function of the substrate, \(X = \varphi(a - S)\), so \[\mu = \frac{\mu_m S}{K_{sx}X + S} = \frac{\mu_m S}{K_{sx}\varphi a + (1-K_{sx}\varphi)S} = \frac{(\mu_m/\beta)\,S}{K_{sx}\varphi a/\beta + S}, \qquad \beta = 1 - K_{sx}\varphi,\] which is Monod with \(\mu_m' = \mu_m/\beta\) and \(K_S' = K_{sx}\varphi a/\beta\). The map is a bijection. No batch experiment, of any length or precision, separates Contois from Monod. The symbolic residual below is exactly zero, and two independent fits confirm it by landing on the same curve.
- Tessier is genuinely different - it has no reparameterisation into Monod - so it is the one alternative a batch run could in principle settle, and the page prices what that would take.

Nothing on this page is a literature parameter value. Section 1.5.2 of Froment prints no value for \(r_m\), \(K_S\) or \(K_i\) and no worked example for Monod kinetics - no table, no fitted constant, nothing to reproduce. (It is not numberless: book p. 26 prints the selectivity identity \(y_B + y_P + y_D = 1\), and the caption of Fig. 1.5.2-1 on book p. 29 prints \(k_1 = 0.0125\,\)s\(^{-1}\), \(k_2 = 0.025\,\)s\(^{-1}\), \(M_0/D_0 = 1\) - but those belong to Williams’ structured model, eqs. (1.5.2-5) to (1.5.2-8), which is J4.9’s, and none of them is a Monod constant. Both are transcribed into the printed-laws CSV so the claim is checkable.) Rawlings & Ekerdt’s set (\(\mu_m = 1\), \(K_s = 1\), \(S_f = 5\), \(y = 1\)) is printed on their book p. 597 as the values “used to prepare” Fig. 10.12 - body text, not a caption - and is used here only to reproduce their eq. (10.19) and nothing else. Every constant that describes the culture is fitted here, on this page, to the seven printed intervals, and is labelled a fit wherever it appears.
Units. \(\Delta t\) is printed in hours, so every growth rate here is in h\(^{-1}\) - which is the dimension Froment prints for \(\mu\) on p. 27, and the one independent unit check available. The substrate and biomass columns carry no units at all in the printed table. Every conclusion below is therefore stated either in h\(^{-1}\) or as a ratio; the one quantity that inherits the unprinted scale is \(K_S\) itself, and it is quoted as “in the units of the printed \(\bar C_A\) column” every time.
The assumptions, and who prints each:
| assumption | printed by | where it bites |
|---|---|---|
| constant biomass yield | Froment eq. (1.5.2-3); Rawlings eq. (10.18); Levenspiel Ch. 29 | fixes \(S\) as an affine function of \(X\) - this is what makes Contois degenerate |
| well mixed, isothermal batch | Froment “a closed volume with uniform composition and temperature” | the whole reduction |
| exponential-phase growth only | Froment: “The rate of biomass production, i.e., the increase in the number of cells during the exponential growth phase, is described by the empirical Monod-kinetics” | the seven intervals are taken to be inside it |
| no cell death | Froment prints \(r_d = k_dC_B\) separately and it is not used here | would add a constant to every \(\mu\) |
| no product inhibition | Rawlings prints the form separately (p. 596); Levenspiel gives it a whole chapter (Ch. 30) | out of scope, and named |
One reduction, and it is exact. For any growth law whatever, \(\mathrm{d}(\ln C_C)/\mathrm{d}t = \mu\), so
\[\mu_i \;=\; \frac{1}{\Delta t_i}\ln\frac{C_{C,i}^{\rm end}}{C_{C,i}^{\rm start}}\]
is exactly the time-average of the specific growth rate over interval \(i\). No approximation has been made at this point.
The approximation comes next, and it is the one this page is about. The exercise invites you to compare that \(\mu_i\) with \(\mu(\bar C_{A,i})\) - the rate law evaluated at the interval’s average substrate concentration. Since \(\mu\) is curved, \(\langle\mu(C_A)\rangle \ne \mu(\langle C_A\rangle)\), and the two differ at second order in the substrate swing across the interval. That swing is not small here: the last two intervals consume more substrate than their own average. The page calls the first comparison route A and the exact one route B, and reports both.
The data
Seven intervals, transcribed from a 600 ppi native render of Levenspiel p. 644 and used exactly as printed. data/levenspiel-p644-monod-batch.csv carries them and its sidecar carries the provenance chain in full; the essentials are in Background above and are repeated in one line here: these are attributed by Levenspiel to Monod (1958) p. 74, not to the 1949 paper, and neither document was consulted.
Two things the printed table says that the text layer does not:
- the substrate column header carries an overbar - \(\bar C_A\), an interval average.
pdftotextdrops it in all three modes. It is load-bearing; - no units are printed for either concentration column.
A material balance the table must satisfy. All three books assume a constant yield, which makes \(C_A\) an affine function of \(C_C\) pointwise, hence \(\bar C_A\) an affine function of \(\bar C_C\) interval by interval. Under exponential growth the exact time-average of \(C_C\) is its logarithmic mean, so that line can be drawn with no fitted kinetics at all - and it is the only internal consistency check the table offers.

Four pieces, in increasing order of how much pymrm does:
- The five growth laws, each written as \(\mu = \mu_m\,g(\theta; S, X)\) so that on route A \(\mu_m\) can be profiled out in closed form. That is not cosmetic: Blackman’s objective has a kink wherever \(2K_s\) crosses a data point, and a single local start lands on the wrong minimum - measured, and kept as a break-table row.
- Route B’s forward prediction. Constant yield collapses the batch to one ODE, \(\mathrm{d}C_C/\mathrm{d}t = \mu(a - C_C/\varphi,\,C_C)\,C_C\), whose solution over each printed interval gives \(\mu_i^{\rm pred}\) with no averaging approximation anywhere. Rescaling \(\tau = \mu_m t\) removes \(\mu_m\) from that ODE entirely, so one dense-output solve per \((\theta,\,\)interval\()\) prices every \(\mu_m\) - which is what makes a global scan over \(\theta\) affordable rather than a local start from a guess.
- A pymrm backward-Euler batch marcher,
NumJac((1, 2))+newtonon the two fields \((S, X)\), used as the second, independent computation of route B’s fit: different discretisation, different Jacobian, different linear algebra, and it integrates \(S\) as an unknown rather than substituting the yield relation - so the yield line is tested rather than assumed, through \(S + X/\varphi = {\rm const}\). - A plug-flow fermenter and a chemostat. Levenspiel’s Fig. 29.1 is captioned “Behavior of batch or plug flow reactors for Monod type microbial fermentation”, and that equivalence is what makes the plug-flow solve testable: its outlet at residence time \(\tau\) must equal the batch at \(t = \tau\), to the discretisation error and no further.
construct_convflux_upwind+construct_div(nu=0, Cartesian) assemble \(v\,\partial c/\partial z\) once;NumJac((n, 2))couples the two fields pointwise, which is what a growth law is;newtonsolves. The chemostat is Rawlings’ eq. (10.18) with the same source term.
Boundary conditions use the outward normal. At the inlet \(z=0\) the outward normal points in \(-z\), so the feed is {"a": 0, "b": 1, "d": (S_f, X_f)}; at the outlet it points in \(+z\), so pure outflow is {"a": 1, "b": 0, "d": 0}. Outlet values come from compute_boundary_values, not off the last cell centre; the break table prices reading them there.

Contois needs a biomass too; the exact time average under exponential growth is the logarithmic mean of \(C_C\), which is what is used (the arithmetic mean is a declared convention and a break row).

Monod is LAST of the four two-parameter laws on this reduction: RMS 0.054690 1/h against Contois 0.051534,
Tessier 0.038710 and Blackman 0.026772 - a factor 2.04 between the ends.
Moser's exponent comes out n = 1.9317, and adding it to Monod gives
F = 12.2698 against F(1,4) = 7.7086 at 95 % - SIGNIFICANT on this reduction.
IT IS NOT THE REDUCTION ALONE THAT CLEARS THAT TEST. Put row 4's CA_bar at the
value its own material balance implies, 60.18 instead of the printed 43 - an
INFERENCE, not a repair, and nothing in the CSV is edited - and route A gives
F = 5.4477 against the same 7.7086: NOT significant. One printed cell,
which the page flags as off the table's own balance line, carries that verdict
over the threshold on its own.
The RANKING claim is unaffected: Blackman still beats Monod with the cell
imputed (0.040646 against 0.046870, a factor 1.15
where the printed cell gives 2.04), and the route-A-to-route-B reversal below is the
reduction. What does move is which law comes last of the four: Monod on the
printed cell, Contois on the imputed one, and they differ by 0.14 %.
Every law beats both one-parameter nulls: zero order 0.278278, first order
0.201476 - Monod is 3.68x better than the best of them, and Blackman 7.53x.Route B - the same seven growth rates, averaged properly
\(\mu_i\) is exactly the interval average of \(\mu\), so the honest comparison integrates the law across the interval instead of evaluating it at \(\bar C_A\). Constant yield makes that a single ODE, and the two constants it needs - \(\varphi\) and \(a\) - come from the material-balance line, which is a property of the printed table and of no growth law. No parameter is added and the models are the same five.
What each route reads, exactly. Both fit the same seven \(\mu_i\), which are the whole of the kinetic information in the table. They differ in where the substrate comes from: route A reads all seven printed \(\bar C_A\) directly, while route B never touches that column at all - it takes the substrate trajectory from \(\varphi\) and \(a\), and those come from the six-row balance line, the one that excludes the flagged row 4. So the datum route A’s ranking leans on hardest is exactly the one route B’s balance line leaves out. That is a real difference between the routes and not a nuisance: the break table prices it directly, refitting every route-B law - and route B’s own \(F\) - with the all-seven balance line instead.
# NO WALL-CLOCK TIMING IS PRINTED ANYWHERE ON THIS PAGE: elapsed seconds differ

\(\mu\) is curved, so evaluating it at \(\bar C_A\) is not the same as averaging it across the interval. The gap is second order in the substrate swing - and the swing is not small: the last two intervals consume more substrate than their own printed average.

The bias has a SIGN: mu is concave, so mu(mean) exceeds the mean of mu, and
the shortcut therefore makes every saturating law look too gradual near
exhaustion - which is exactly the direction that inflates Moser's exponent.What that costs: a seeded bootstrap, with a control
Generate data from a Monod model, add Gaussian noise at the observed residual scale, and run route A’s F test on it. Do it twice, changing only what “a Monod model” means:
- from the forward model - i.e. from data Monod would actually produce;
- from \(\mu(\bar C_A)\) - route A’s own model, for which route A is correctly specified.
The second is the control. If route A’s size is inflated in both, the culprit is the small-sample F approximation; if only in the first, it is the reduction.
Every draw is fitted the way route A fits the real data - global scan, then refined. This is not a detail. The observed \(F\) the draws are compared against comes from a refined fit, and reading the draws’ fits off the scan grid with no refinement is worth a factor two in the control’s size: an unrefined Moser fit cannot reach its own optimum, so it under-states \(F\) on every draw and makes the test look conservative when it is not. The refinement is a per-draw zoom on the winning grid cell, its convergence is printed below, and the grid-only numbers are kept as a break row because that is exactly the class of defect - a grid-limited extremum - that no perturbation test can see.

impossible for a converged fit, since Moser contains Monod. Read it as the

WHAT IT CANNOT SHOW. The same count for the fit actually shipped - the pair of

fitted from the grid winner alone, so it has no pair of starts and no such

the nesting point, where the Moser objective and the Monod objective are the
same number to the last bit (largest difference over all 4000 draws and all
depths: 0.0e+00), and the zoom's candidate set contains its
own centre, so that branch is monotone and can never end above it. A column of

and on the forward arm, p for the OBSERVED exponent: 0.1285 +- 0.0075
EVERY NUMBER IN THAT TABLE AND IN THE LINE UNDER IT IS A MONTE-CARLO ESTIMATE over
2000 seeded draws, and they are NOT all of one kind: the sizes and the p values
are FREQUENCIES, the two exponents are MEDIANS. So every one carries a sampling
error, printed beside it as +- one standard error - binomial for the frequencies,
and from the order statistics for the medians.
AND HOW MANY FIGURES THAT BUYS, PER STATISTIC rather than in one sentence - for
the six quoted off this page, the largest k whose k-th significant figure one
standard error does not reach:
forward size 0.3655 +- 0.0108 one SE is 2.2x half a unit in figure 2 (0.005) -> 1 figure
control size 0.0495 +- 0.0049 one SE is 9.7x half a unit in figure 2 (0.0005) -> 1 figure
p(F>obs) 0.2280 +- 0.0094 one SE is 1.9x half a unit in figure 2 (0.005) -> 1 figure
p(n>obs) 0.1285 +- 0.0075 one SE is 1.5x half a unit in figure 2 (0.005) -> 1 figure
forward median n 1.6117 +- 0.0074 one SE is 1.5x half a unit in figure 3 (0.005) -> 2 figures
control median n 1.0089 +- 0.0049 one SE is 9.7x half a unit in figure 4 (0.0005) -> 3 figures
So the FREQUENCIES are seed-independent in their LEADING FIGURE ONLY (1 figure), and
the MEDIANS in at least 2. The four-figure values above are exact for THIS seed and
reproducible, not resolved - read the +-, not the digit count. Every quotation of
them on this page carries the same +-.
The control sits AT its nominal size (0.0495 +- 0.0049 against 0.0500) and
recovers the truth's exponent (1.0089 +- 0.0049 against 1). So the small-sample F
approximation at n = 7 is essentially EXACT here - it is not conservative, and it
is not the problem. Against data Monod actually produces, the same test rejects
it 36.5% +- 1.1% of the time and puts the median exponent at 1.6117 +- 0.0074.
The whole of the distortion is the reduction.
WHAT THE SECOND START DOES, measured on the converged row rather than asserted:
it strictly wins on 903 of the 4000 draws, but the largest SSE it ever gains is
9.9e-05 relative, and it changes 0 rejection decisions on the two arms combined.
It is a monotonicity guarantee - the fit can never end above the Monod fit it is
being tested against - and not an escape from a wrong basin.
Read the first row of the table above the same way: fitted on the grid alone,
the control reads 0.0210 and its median exponent 0.9514 - a coarse Moser grid
(n spacing 0.163) cannot reach its own optimum, so it deflates F on every draw and
manufactures a conservative-looking control. That is a grid-limited extremum,
and no perturbation of the model would have revealed it.
The OBSERVED route-A verdict, F = 12.2698, therefore has p = 0.2280 +- 0.0094
against a properly generated Monod null - not significant at all, and not close
enough to 0.05 for the sampling error to matter - and its exponent
n = 1.9317 has p = 0.1285 +- 0.0075.
Which residual scatter supplies sigma is a declared convention, and it matters
for one arm only:
sigma value, 1/h forward size control size
route B RMS (used above) 0.031466 0.3655 +- 0.0108 0.0495 +- 0.0049
route A RMS 0.054690 0.2355 +- 0.0095 0.0470 +- 0.0047
The FORWARD size is a bias-to-noise ratio, so it moves with sigma and the
quoted 36.5% +- 1.1% is specific to route B's scatter. The CONTROL's size is scale-free to
Monte-Carlo error, which is exactly what a correctly specified test should do,
and is a second reason to read it as the F approximation being exonerated.What this design could separate, if the data were clean
Identifiability is a property of the experiment, not of the model. Take Monod as true, at the route-B fit; ask how close each alternative can get to it at these seven design points; and compare that distance with the scatter. \(N^*\) is the number of independent repeats of the seven-interval run - Levenspiel’s Problem 29.18, attributed by him to Monod (1958) - at which a \(\chi^2\) separation at 95 % becomes possible.
Read \(N^*\) as a threshold, not as a sample size. It is the \(N\) at which the expected excess sum of squares first reaches the 95 % critical value. An experiment run at exactly \(N^*\) therefore lands above the critical value about half the time: \(N^*\) is roughly a 50 %-power point, not a 95 %-detection design. Three further choices in it - the confidence level, the degrees of freedom, and which route supplies the scatter - are declared conventions with break rows, and the separations \(d\) that go into it are optimiser upper bounds, so \(N^*\) errs low in the direction that matters.

Moser and Contois sit at the optimiser's own floor, and that is not an
accident of this dataset - it is the algebra of *The published model*: Moser
CONTAINS Monod at n = 1, and Contois IS Monod once a constant yield makes X an
affine function of S. Their symbolic residuals are exactly zero; the numbers
above (here 2.5e-14 and 6.3e-14) measure least_squares' xtol, not a
separation, so both are registered as BOUNDS, below 1e-09 1/h, and never compared as values.
Tessier and Blackman are genuinely separable. Blackman needs 1.30 repeats of this
design and Tessier 10.3. So one clean run of it is within 30 % of enough for
Blackman - not enough, and at N* the power is only about a half anyway,
so 'one run would do' would be generous twice over.
Note which way this cuts against route A: Blackman, the law route A liked
best, is the ONLY one this design can actually resolve - so route A's ranking
is not merely biased, it is confidently ordering laws it cannot tell apart.The experiment that does separate Contois from Monod
The degeneracy above is a property of a constant-yield batch run, which ties \(X\) to \(S\). A chemostat does not: the dilution rate moves them independently. Rawlings’ eq. (10.18) with a Monod law washes out at \(D_c = \mu_m S_f/(K_s + S_f)\), which depends on the feed concentration. With a Contois law the same balance gives \(\mu \to \mu_m\) as \(X \to 0\), so \(D_c = \mu_m\) whatever the feed. The two cross - and the crossing point is not arbitrary.

K_S error -1.284e-05, unamplified, other sign contributes +1.284e-05
sum -1.043e-05
- which is the 1.04e-05 above.
The K_S error alone is within 23 % of the 1.04e-05, which is a coincidence and
not an explanation: amplify THAT one by the 10.6 instead and you get 1.37e-04,

Left and centre: curves fitted on this page to Levenspiel p. 644's seven
intervals. Right: those curves extrapolated to an experiment nobody ran.Validation
Four kinds, kept apart, and none of them is the fit.
- A stated numerical result reproduced. Rawlings & Ekerdt print a closed form for the chemostat steady states, eq. (10.19), and the parameter set of their Fig. 10.12 (\(\mu_m = 1\), \(K_s = 1\), \(S_f = 5\), \(y = 1\)). Both are reproduced here by marching eq. (10.18) to steady state - a different computation entirely - and a break row changes one of their printed constants and watches the reproduction fail.
- Two independent computations of route B’s fit, and a statement of what that does and does not establish. The quoted constants come from an adaptive LSODA solve; they are re-derived through a pymrm backward-Euler marcher (
NumJac((1,2))+newton) with Richardson extrapolation, which shares no line of code, uses a different Jacobian and a different linear solve, and integrates \(S\) as an unknown rather than substituting the yield relation. What that catches is a bug in either integrator. What it cannot catch is anything the two share: both read \(a\), \(\varphi\), \(\Delta t\) and \(C_C^{\rm start}\) from the same place and integrate the same ODE, so a wrong yield, a wrong intercept or a mis-set interval moves both predictions together and leaves their agreement where it was. That is measured below rather than asserted, because the sentence this replaces claimed the opposite. \(S + X/\varphi = {\rm const}\) belongs on the same list:BatchMarchbuilds its source as \((-m/\varphi,\,m)\) from one \(m\), so backward Euler conserves it identically for any growth law. It is structural - the coverage map has always said so - and the measurement below shows it moving by exactly nothing under physics that is grossly wrong. - An exact identity the discretisation must satisfy. The plug-flow outlet at residence time \(\tau\) is the batch state at \(t = \tau\) - Levenspiel’s Fig. 29.1 caption, and a theorem. Grid refined, order reported, Richardson checked.
- A defect-injection table, rebuilt for this page’s physics.

The two share no line of code, so a bug in EITHER INTEGRATOR moves them
apart - which is what the order study and the 25-step break row test. They
do NOT share their inputs' correctness: a yield wrong by 30 % moves the
common prediction by 9.0 relative and leaves their agreement at 5.00e-04,
against 6.41e-04 with nothing injected. This check measures the TIME
DISCRETISATION and nothing else, and saying so is the point of the table.
S + X/phi is a TAUTOLOGY of the marcher, not a test of it: the source is
(-m/phi, m) from one m, so backward Euler conserves it for ANY growth law.
Tripling mu_m - grossly wrong physics, and it moves the biomass at the end
of interval 1 from 23.4449 to 49.9665 - takes the invariant from 4.3e-16
to 1.2e-15 relative, both below 1e-13, i.e. nowhere. What DOES break it is using a different yield
in the source from the one in the invariant, and that is the break row.# ---- 3. plug flow == batch, and the grid order of the pymrm solve

sep_moser STRUCTURAL - STRUCTURAL: zero to the optimiser's tolerance because Moser CONTAINS Monod at n = 1, so it is a tolerance bound. Companion: routeA_F_moser_vs_monod.

sym_blackman_gap_at_switch_over_mum STRUCTURAL - EXACT RATIONAL 1/3, closed form. Companion and check: num_blackman_gap_switch_relerr, which has a break row.
sym_blackman_gap_lower_over_mum STRUCTURAL - EXACT SURD (3 - 2 sqrt 2)/2, closed form. Companion and check: num_blackman_gap_lower_relerr.
sym_blackman_half_rate_residual STRUCTURAL - EXACT ZERO, a bound at 0 (identity) - and it IS the finding: Blackman shares the property. Companion: sym_blackman_gap_at_switch_over_mum = 1/3.
sym_contois_is_monod_residual STRUCTURAL - EXACT ZERO, a bound at 0 (identity), and it is the page's strongest claim. Companions: Sf_crossing, the crossing this very identity fixes at S_f = a, and Dc_ratio_at_Sf20 - both functions of the Contois fit, both with break rows. The two contois_map_* errors are themselves exactly-zero quantities, registered as tolerance bounds, and keep their break rows.
sym_monod_half_rate_residual STRUCTURAL - EXACT ZERO, a bound at 0 (identity). Froment's definition of K_S, verified. Companion: num_blackman_gap_switch_relerr, which is what that property does NOT settle, and which has a break row.
sym_monod_is_langmuir_residual STRUCTURAL - EXACT ZERO, a bound at 0 (identity). Rawlings' printed claim, proved in sympy. Companion: sym_blackman_gap_at_switch_over_mum, the same class of closed-form statement with a numerical check attached.
sym_moser_at_n1_residual STRUCTURAL - EXACT ZERO, a bound at 0 (identity), by nesting. Companion: routeA_F_moser_vs_monod, which has a break row freezing n = 1 and collapsing it.

n_separable_alternatives = 2 exact exact, margin 4.2What pymrm adds
Honestly: the central argument is algebra and a seven-point fit, and scipy does most of it. Two things pymrm does here are load-bearing, and one is not.
Load-bearing:
- The second, independent computation of the fit.
BatchMarchis a backward-Euler marcher built fromNumJac((1, 2))andnewton, and it re-derives \(\mu_m\) and \(K_S\) through a different discretisation, a different Jacobian and a different linear solve, agreeing with the LSODA fit to below 1e-4 in both constants. A break row confirms the check has teeth by running it unconverged. Be precise about what it buys: it catches a bug in either integrator, and it is blind to everything the two share - a wrong yield, a wrong intercept or a mis-set interval moves both predictions together, which the Validation section measures. Carrying \(S\) as an unknown instead of substituting the yield relation is worth having for its own sake, but \(S + X/\varphi\) is then a tautology of the scheme, not a test of it: the source is \((-m/\varphi,\,m)\) built from one \(m\), so backward Euler conserves it for any growth law, and tripling \(\mu_m\) moves it by nothing at all. - Turning a caption into a test.
PlugFlowFermentermakes Levenspiel’s “batch or plug flow” into a number: first-order upwind convergence at observed order 1.00 against the initial-value solution, Richardson checked. The break table then prices the usual mistakes on it:nu=1instead ofnu=0is a relative move of 8.2e2, and a flipped substrate sign 2.7e4, both while the profile still looks perfectly smooth. Reading the outlet at the last cell centre instead of throughcompute_boundary_valuesalso moves the number - but down, by a factor 0.39 here, and the page says so rather than repeating the general warning: with a zero-gradient outflow condition both reads are first order (measured: 1.00 and 1.00) and differ only in their constant.
Not load-bearing, and the page says so: a well-mixed batch and a chemostat are 0-D, and solve_ivp integrates them - as it does, throughout, as the reference.
What travels. The growth law is written as a pointwise source over the last axis, which is the shape the rest of the gallery uses, so PlugFlowFermenter.source transplants unchanged into a pellet (B1.1), an immobilised-enzyme particle (J4.7) or a dispersed tubular reactor (A2.1, A2.6): the ingredients gain construct_grad, and the rate law is the same object.
Reuse
If you have batch growth data and want \(\mu_m\) and \(K_S\): do not compare \(\ln(C_C^{\rm end}/C_C^{\rm start})/\Delta t\) with \(\mu\) evaluated at the interval-average substrate concentration unless the substrate barely moves across the interval. On these seven intervals that shortcut biases the rate by up to 0.0663 h\(^{-1}\) - 1.21 times the residual scatter it is then judged against - always in the direction that makes a saturating law look too gradual near exhaustion. Integrate the law across the interval instead; constant yield makes that a single ODE and it costs nothing. fit_B on this page is the whole of it.
If you are choosing between growth laws: ask first whether your experiment can tell them apart. Two of the four alternatives Rawlings & Ekerdt print beside Monod cannot be separated from it by any constant-yield batch run. Moser contains Monod at \(n = 1\). Contois is Monod, exactly, with \(\mu_m' = \mu_m/(1-K_{sx}\varphi)\) and \(K_S' = K_{sx}\varphi a/(1-K_{sx}\varphi)\) - so a batch fit that “prefers” one over the other is reporting its own optimiser and its own reduction. Of the two that are separable at this design, Blackman needs 1.30 repeats of the seven-interval run and Tessier 10.3 - and read those as ~50 %-power thresholds, so one clean run is within 30 % of enough for Blackman rather than enough.
If you need to separate Contois from Monod: run a chemostat and sweep the feed concentration, not the dilution rate alone. Monod washes out at \(D_c = \mu_m S_f/(K_S+S_f)\) and Contois at \(D_c = \mu_m\) regardless of \(S_f\), so the two predictions cross at exactly \(S_f = a\) - the substrate intercept of your own batch run’s material balance - and separate on either side. At the constants fitted here that is \(S_f = 197.1\); the gap exceeds 10 % below \(S_f = 95.5\) and reaches a factor 1.83 at \(S_f = 20\).
If you are checking a printed table: the constant-yield material balance is free, needs no kinetics and is sharp. Six of these seven rows sit on it at \(R^2 = 0.99996\); the seventh is the whole reason the all-seven fit reads 0.98505. A leave-one-out sweep says which row, not merely that one is off - and that distinction matters, because “the table has scatter” and “one cell is wrong” lead to different analyses. Then price the cell before quoting anything that depends on it: on this table, putting that one cell at its balance-implied value takes route A’s F from 12.27 to 5.45 and flips the only significance verdict the page could have reported.
If you want the neighbouring physics: substrate inhibition - Froment’s eq. (1.5.2-4) and Rawlings’ \(\mu_m S/(K_s+S+K_1S^2)\), the form whose rate has a maximum where Monod has an asymptote - is case J4.2, and gets no quantitative treatment here. Williams’ structured model, eqs. (1.5.2-5) to (1.5.2-8) of the same section, is J4.9. The enzyme rate law Froment says Monod-kinetics are “shaped after” is J4.6, and the isotherm this page proves Monod identical to is J1.1.
What NOT to reuse. \(K_S\) from this page is in the units of a column whose units the source does not print, for an organism the source does not name, on a substrate identified only as lactose. It is a number about a table, not about a culture. And the seven rows are attributed by Levenspiel to Monod (1958) p. 74; neither that book nor the 1949 paper this case catalogues was consulted, so do not cite them as either.
