Two microorganisms that use naphthalene as a food source have the same Umax but different Ks values for naphthalene. If both types of microorganisms are inoculated at the same cell density into a liquid culture containing naphthalene as the sole carbon source (i.e. the only food source), which microorganism will outcompete the other: the one with the higher Ks or the one with the lower Ks. Why?.
A culture consisting of 100 litres of nutrient medium containing 12 g l-1 of growth limiting substrate is inoculated with 10g of bacteria in a batch fermenter. The yield of biomass from substrate is 0.05 g g-1 . The maintenance coefficient is 2.0 g g-1 h -1 . The specific rate of product formation due to maintenance is 1.0 h-1 . The maximum specific growth rate of the organism is 0.3 h -1 . YPX= 7.7 and product formation is directly linked with metabolism. a) What is the time required to produce 15 g of biomass? !!!!!

A medium containing an abundance of substrate was seeded with 20 mg/L VSS of an active mixed culture. After 8.0 hours, the VSS concentration was measured at 590 mg/L. Data indicate that there was a lag time of 0.5 hours. Assuming log growth, what is the average generation time of this culture?

You have been working in the quality control lab at Koo for a month when you noticed a dramatic increase in the incidence of thermophilic incubator spoilage of canned sweet corn produced by the company. Describe the steps you would use to determine the cause of the increased spoilage. Your discussion must include the procedures you would use to determine the thermal death time and the D-value of the spoilage organism.
