Abstract A model for noninhibitory microbial growth has been developed which is superior to the Monod model in that it can predict the decline in steady‐state growth yields at both the slow and the fast specific growth rates. The model parameters are evaluated from data obtained for steady‐state, phenol‐limited Pseudomonas putida growth using a conventional 1‐dm 3 cheniostat. The model also has been successfully applied to Mor and Fiechter's data for cheniostat yeast cultures.
