Which of the following organism can grow with or without oxygen? Correct Answer Facultative anaerobes

Facultative anaerobes grow with or without oxygen. However, they grow better in the presence of oxygen and obtain their energy through aerobic respiration. If oxygen is absent, they utilize fermentation respiration.

A bacterial culture having a specific oxygen uptake rate of 5 mmol O2 (g DCW)-1 hr-1 is being grown aerobically in a fed-batch bioreactor. The maximum value of the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient is 0.18 s-1 for the stirred tank bioreactor and the critical dissolved oxygen concentration is 20% of the saturation concentration (8 mg mL-1). The maximum density to which the cells can be grown in the fed-batch process without the growth being limited by oxygen transfer, is approximately
In a well aerated and agitated microbial culture, the 'supply' of oxygen is equal to 'demand' (uptake) of the growing culture. The KLa for such a system will be (KLa = volumetric mass transfer coefficient, C* = dissolved oxygen concentration in liquid in equilibrium with gaseous oxygen, C = instantaneous value of dissolved oxygen concentration, 'r' = specific oxygen uptake rate per unit weight of cells, X = dry weight of the cells per unit volume)
