A four‐lumped stochastic model has been developed in this work to elucidate the relationship between concentrations of proton and the number of active sites present on the surface of bacterium cells. Titration was performed for calcium and magnesium ions using periodic‐limited residence time reactor. Denaturation of the cell surface at various gradients of protons was studied by measuring the value of zeta potential. The statistical error functions were used to interpret the suitability of the proposed model. The precision of the model was observed through linear and nonlinear regression coefficients. The model was evaluated in maxima and minima boundary conditions of proton concentration at various temperature levels. Temperature changes in the model and its effect on surface of bacterium cells have also been studied. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 35: 624–632, 2016
