Microbial systems are frequently used in biotechnology to convert substrates into valuable products. To make this efficient, knowledge on the specific metabolic characteristics of a system is required as well as a theoretical description that allows researchers to design the system for a profitable use in an industrial application. In this chapter, basics on mathematical modelling approaches are introduced and examples are provided.
