Abstract
A new equation for microbial growth has been proposed and its implications discussed. The proposed equation has a distinct advantage over Bertalanffy’s in being an explicit relationship between growth parameter and time. Attempt has been made to read the proposed equation in the light of Hinshelwood’s auto-synthetic model. The constants occurring in the proposed equation have been shown to be intimately related to the kinetic constants in the Hinshelwood’s model.
