31
Biomass is being produced in a continuous stirred tank bioreactor of 750 L capacity. The sterile feed containing 8 g L-1 glucose as substrate was fed at a flow rate of 150 L h-1. The microbial system follows Monod's model with μm = 0.4 h-1, KS = 1.5 g L-1 and \[{Y_{\frac{X}{S}}}\] = 0.5 g cell mass-g substrate-1. Determine the cell productivity (g L-1 h-1) at steady state.

A bacterial culture with an appropriate biomass composition of CH1.8O0.5N0.2 is grown aerobically on a defined medium containing glucose as the sole carbon source and ammonia being the nitrogen source. In this fermentation, biomass is formed with a yield coefficient of 0.35 gram dry cell weight per gram of glucose and acetate is produced with a yield coefficient of 0.1 gram acetate per gram of glucose. The respiratory coefficient for the above culture will be
