Abstract: In this paper, the growth rate constants(k) of five bacteria have been determined at different temperatures. From these results a linear equation √k=a+bT can be established for the bacterial growth.

Key words: microcalorimetry, thermogenesis curve, lowest growth temperature, growth rate Constant
