- | + | Given more time, we would then run the test for a range of other thicknesses and compare the data collected to the theoretical form established above. Once the accuracy of the above form could be established, the next step would then be to predict the theoretical maximum breakdown rate of DCM achievable by our bacterial systems and then calibrate the thickness of the biopolymer capsules such that the influx rate of DCM through the polymer is equal to our breakdown rate. This would result in no net accumulation of product thereby holding the bacteria at the optimum conditions for DCM metabolism thereby maximizing their efficacy. | |
