A predictive model was performed to describe Pseudomonas stutzeri strain DN2 growth behaviour in tributyltin chloride, using primary Modelling and a polynomial model as a secondary predictive model. In this investigation, data predicted using the modified Logistic (ML) was the most accurate. The Bias Factor (Bf) and Accuracy Factor (Af) values for the (ML) model were 1.39 and 1.51, indicating that the predictions were within a reliable range. The low RMSE value of 0.14, R2 and adj R2 (0.99) value closer to 1, showing that modified logistics is better than the other models at describing the growth behaviour of Pseudomonas stutzeri strain DN2 in toxic tributyltin chloride. Both the Aiba and Haldane models on the other hand, among the secondary model best fit the behaviours having low RMSE and MSE values and adjR2 value closer to 1. In this study, the primary and secondary kinetics of Pseudomonas stutzeri strain DN2 growth behaviour in tributyltin chloride was explored and it was shown in this study that the modified logistic and the Haldane models better suit the growth behavior of Pseudomonas stutzeri strain DN2 in tributyltin chloride. The parameters obtained from the modelling exercise will be very valuable in transferring the laboratory results to the field.
