In the endogenous respiration concept the biodegradable fraction of X OHO is regarded as a homogenous substrate that undergoes self-destruction in the absence of external substrate. The degradation process of X OHO is modelled with Eq. (4) and Eq.xperimental evidence for the validity of the endogenous respiration model comes from Marais and Ekama (1976) . Using the OUR method, the value of b OHO was found to be 0.24 d â1 and independent from SRT in the range of 2.5â30 days. Similar results were obtained by van Haandel et al.
1 Basal cells: These cells are in the lower part of the epidermis, called the basal cell layer. 2  These cells constantly divide to form new cells to replace the squamous cells that wear off the skinâs surface.3  As these cells move up in the epidermis, they get flatter, eventually becoming squamous cells.he main types of cells in the epidermis include: 1  Squamous cells: These are flat cells in the outer part of the epidermis that are constantly shed as new ones form. 2  Basal cells: These cells are in the lower part of the epidermis, called the basal cell layer.
In vertebrates, the olfactory epithelium consists of a three basic cell types: bipolar olfactory receptor neurons; sustentacular cells, a type of supporting cell; and basal cells, the stem cells that continuously give rise to new olfactory receptor neurons and sustentacular cells.ells in the olfactory mucosa have been shown to have a degree of plasticity, and hold potential for therapeutic applications. Such cells have been used in clinical trials for adult stem cell therapeutic treatments, and successfully harvested for future applications.
