Table 5. Thermodynamic parameters estimated by Arrhenius approach for batch formation and deactivation of CBH by cultures of Cellulomonas flavigena. Thermodynamic parameters were determined using following equation:

Ln (q_p /T) = Ln(k_B/h)+ ∆S^*/R-∆H^*/R.1/T ; where q_p, T, k_B , h, ∆S^*,  ∆H^* and R are  specific productivity,  absolute temperature, Boltzmann constant,  Planck's  constant, entropy of activation, enthalpy of activation and  gas constant respectively. The values of k_B , h, and R are 1.38x10^-23 J.K^-1, 6.63 x 10^-34 J.s and 8.314 J/.K^-1.mol^-1 respectively.

∆H^* was calculated as slope and Ln(k_B/h)+ ∆S^*/R as intercept on Y-axis using Figure 2b.
