Summary:
Two models of microbial growth are derived as a resuslt of a discussion of the models of Monod and Hinshelwood types. The approach takes account of the lyse of dead cells in inhibitory products as well as in those which stimulate the growth. The asymptotic behaviour of the models is proved and the models applied to a chemostat.
