[Biothermokinetics] Kinetics of bacterial mixed cultures

[Iraklis Panagiotakis]

Dear group,

I have cultivated anaerobic mixed cultures and I am trying to test their
ability to decompose some organic compounds under different environmental
conditions. Currently I am trying to start studying the appropriate
bibliography about bacterial kinetics in order to stimulate their
behaviour.

Is this possible for mixed cultures?
Is there any basic reading for bacterial kinetics that I have to start with?
Is there any basic reading of kinetic coefficients measurements in the lab?
Should I try to find a software to model their kinetics?

Any help would be valuable.
Thank you.
