A bacterial culture is growing in a batch reactor following Monod growth kinetics. The maximum specific growth rate (umax) of the culture is 0.8 h⁻¹, and the Monod saturation constant (KS) is 0.2 g/L.
If the current substrate concentration (S) in the reactor is 0.8 g/L, the specific growth rate (mu) of the culture in h⁻¹ is ________ (Round off to two decimal places).
