It was found that urea hydrolysis in Escherichia coli MJK2 biofilms is well approximated by first-order kinetics between urea concentrations of 0.003 and 0.221 mol/l (0.186 and 13.3 g/l).

Enzyme kinetics involves the measurement of the rate at which chemical reactions that are catalyzed by enzymes occur. Knowledge about the kinetics of an enzyme can reveal useful information about ...
