Comparisons between kinetic parameters estimated for the biodegradation of ethylbenzene in batch culture in different studies
| Strain | Maximum substrate concentration (mg/L) | μmax (1/h) | Ks (mg/l) | Ki (mg/l) | T (°C) | pH | References |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mix culture adapted with petrochemical residue | 220 | 0.2090 | 37.77 | 62.62 | 32 | 7 | This study |
| pseudomonas putida f1 | 80 | 0.26 | 1.5 | 20 | 35 | 7 | [36] |
| Pseudomonas species | 80 | 0.13 | 0.36 | ------- | 30 | ---- | [24] |
| Aerobic bacterial consortium | 100 | 0.05 | 0.11 | 100 | 30 | 6.2–6.9 | [33] |
| Immobilized Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas fluorescens | 150 | 0.012 | 236 | 429 | 25 | 6.4 | [23] |
| Comamonas sp. JB | 50 | 0.0064 | 49.35 | ------- | 30 | 7.5 to 8.0 | [37] |
The parameters’ values are for the Andrews model if a value of Ki is given. If the Ki value is not given the parameters’ values are for the Monod model
