essential to plot the experimental and theoretical values together to examine
their differences.
By adjusting these constants in a sufficiently broad range, the values of S for
different sets are listed in Table 2-4:
The value of S may be reduced even further. Table 2-4 indicates that the
initial estimation for K is not very accurate, the reason being the inaccurate
value of
obtained from the y against
plot (Fig. 2-6). Calculating
backwards for the last set of
and K, we get:
With these new values, a revised Hill's plot is shown in Fig. 2-9 with the
actual error bars measured by Roughton
et al.
(1955), and the theoretically
calculate values of ln {y/(1-y)} based on the MWC model and the best set of
three constants. The fit is reasonable, but still not perfect.
The ratio changes to 0.752 X only slight different from the
original estimation of Monod
et al
.(1965). However, the value of K is quite
different, being about four times larger.
