The daily production of a growth-associated byproduct (P) is 250 kg/day. The continuous bioreactor without recycle is fed with a substrate solution (S) with a concentration of 60 g/L at a flow rate of 500 L/h. In steady state condition, calculate:
a) the product concentration (Cp).b) the conversion of the limiting substrate.c) the cell concentration (Cx).d) the volume of the bioreactor.Data μmax = 0.20 h-1, KS = 0.70 g.L-1, YX/S =0.50 gX/gS, YP/S = 0.35 gP/gS(answers: Considering P0 = 0 and X0 = 0: a) P = 20.83 g/L; b) 99.2% conversion; c) X = 29.76 g/L; d) V = 6071 L)
In treating an oil spill, why might biostimulation be preferred over bioaugmentation?
A genetically modified bacterium was cultivated to produce 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO), and the following yields were obtained: YX/S = 0.106 gX/gS and YP/S = 0.28 gP/gS. Knowing that the culture medium was formulated with glucose, ammonia and some mineral salts, and the cultivation was carried out under aerobic conditions, answer:a) What is the oxygen demand in this process?b) What is the maximum theoretical yield of 1,3-PDO in this process?c) Projecting the scale-up, what cell concentration must be reached to obtain 10 kg of 1,3-PDO in a batch reactor with 1 m3 of culture?

I'm evaluating the production of hydrogen with E. coli (it has a construction that alows this strain to depolimerize xylane into xylose monomers by an endoxylanase), but i have a limited amount of this xylane, and i read TB, AM1 & M9 mediums were used, but they don't say if they just poured the xylan powder into the media solution, i also read they autoclaved it with a soft acid solution and then neutralized it with a basic soluction, but this is an acid hydrolyzate (AH) plus enzymatic hydrolysis (EH). It ´s certain that using both would enhance available xylose concentration, but i want to evaluate EH by itself, and i still can't find if it is just added as powder to the media.

- explain three starting compounds for industrial vanillin production. explain two genetic modifications that has been done to improve vanillin production.arrow_forwardA 3.0 L batch bioreactor is used to grow E. coli bacteria, which have an initial concentration of 12.5 g cells/L. The growth medium contains two carbon sources, which causes diauxic growth, with each carbon source limiting cell growth. Sufficient supplies of oxygen, ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) as a nitrogen source and all other macro and micronutrients are available. The bacteria prefer to grow on glucose (C6H12O6, supplied at 80 g/L), so it is consumed first, followed by glycerol (C3H803, supplied at 68 g/L). Since the E. coli were already growing on glucose, the lag time associated with glucose consumption is only 10 minutes. The lag time associated with glycerol consumption is 35 minutes. Further information: The chemical formula for E. coli in this bioreactor is CH1.666N0.2000.57. The specific growth rate on glucose is 0.41 h-1, and on glycerol is 0.32 h-1?The yield of cells on glucose is 0.48 g cells/g glucose, and yield on glycerol is 0.39 g cells/g glycerol.
