where:

- $X$ is the biomass concentration [g/L].
- $D$ is the dilution rate [h^{-1}], defined as the volumetric feed flow rate divided by the reactor volume.
- $\mu$ is the specific growth rate [h^{-1}], obtained from the metabolic model or flux balance analysis.
- $X$ is the biomass concentration $[g/L]$.
- $D$ is the dilution rate $[h^{-1}]$, defined as the volumetric feed flow rate divided by the reactor volume.
- $\mu$ is the specific growth rate $[h^{-1}]$, obtained from the metabolic model or flux balance analysis.

In this balance, there is **no inflow of cells** (i.e., feed does not contain biomass), so the only sources and sinks are (a) the **growth** of biomass within the reactor and (b) the **washout** of cells at the outflow. The accumulation term is therefore governed by the net of growth minus outflow.
