A total quasi-steady-state formulation of substrate uptake kinetics in complex networks and an example application to microbial litter decomposition
We demonstrate that substrate uptake kinetics in any consumer–substrate network subject to the total quasi-steady-state assumption can be formulated as an equilibrium chemistry (EC) problem. If the consumer-substrate complexes equilibrate much faster than other metabolic processes, then the relation...
