The many circumstances leading to the Henri equation for enzyme conversion of soluble substrates are first noted, followed by some kinetic forms for particulate and polymer hydrolysis. Effects common to immobilized enzyme systems are summarized. Illustrative applications discussed include metabolic kinetics, lipid hydrolysis, enzymatic cell lysis, starch liquefaction, microenvironment influences, colloidal forces, and enzyme deactivation, a l l topics of interest to the larger themes of kinetics and thermodynamics of microbial systems. Enzyme k i n e t i c s i s by now a c l a s s i c a l f i e l d , even i n the arena o f immobilized enzymes, and d e t a i l e d t r a n s i e n t as w e l l as steady s t a t e k i n e t i c models of c e l l u l a r and s u b c e l l u l a r functions have been advanced f r e q u e n t l y which hinge h e a v i l y on the k i n e t i c forms appropriate to s i n g l e enzyme systems. (See l a t e r conference papers of Urabarger, Shuler and Domach, B a i l e y , Agathos and Demain, Marc and Engasser, Costa and Moreira, and Frederickson, f o r examples.) We open t h i s d i s c u s s i o n with a review of causes f o r success and u n c e r t a i n t y regarding the s i n g l e enzyme r a t e equation, f o l l o w i n g which we w i l l touch upon r e s u l t s f o r p a r t i c u l a t e substrates, and c l o s e with some r e s u l t s f o r immobilized enzyme systems. 1.
