Laboratory study of Michaelis–Menten kinetics from the incorporation of glucose at a variety of concentrations by a lake bacteria culture (low Km, low Vmax) and an algal culture (Chlamydomonas sp., high Km, high Vmax). Km of bacteria is 27 nM; Km of algae is 27,000 nM. Note that uptake of algae resembles diffusion. Modified from Wright and Hobbie (1966).
