Dissertation submitted in compliance with the requirements of the Master's Degree in Technology in Biotechnology, Durban Institute of Technology, 2003. / The measured kinetics of a bacterial culture degrading a single organic compound as a sole carbon source in a batch reactor depends on the history of the culture, the identifiability of the parameters, and the manner in which the experiment to measure them is run. The initial substrate to biomass ratio (So/Xo) used in the experiment is particularly important because it influences both parameter identifiability and the expression of the culture history. / M
