What is the yield coefficient if the initial substrate concentration is 20 g/l and biomass is 0.2 g/l. The substrate is then consumed and produces 6.0 g/l of biomass?

What is the yield coefficient if the initial substrate concentration is 20 g/l and biomass is 0.2 g/l. The substrate is then consumed and produces 6.0 g/l of biomass? Correct Answer 0.29 g biomass / g substrate

Yield = (6.0 – 0.2 g biomass) / (20 g substrate) = 0.29 g biomass / g substrate.

Consider the growth of a microorganism in batch culture. When the substrate concentration is high, the cell density doubles every 0.75 h, the observed substrate yield coefficient is 0.3 g DCW/g, and substrate consumption is allocated towards biosynthesis (60%), maintenance (10%), as well as product formation (30%). The product formation is strictly growth-associated. The batch reactor is inoculated with 0.01 g DCW/L and 10 g/L substrate. Estimate the maximum cell density (after lag phase).
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
Wash out (as defined by D = μmax) of a continuous stirred tank fermenter is characterized by (X = biomass, S = substrate concentration in bioreactor, S0 = substrate concentration in feed, P = product concentration in bioreactor).
The electricity bill of a certain establishment is partly fixed and partly varies with the number of units of electricity consumed. In a certain month when 540 units are consumed, the bill is Rs. 1,800. In another month the consumed units are 620 and the bill is Rs. 2,040. If 500 units of electricity is consumed in a month, the bill for that month is
Zymomonas mobilis is used to convert glucose to ethanol in a batch fermenter under anaerobic conditions. The yield of biomass from substrate is 0.06 g g-1; YPX is 7.7 g g-1. The maintenance coefficient is 2.2 g g-1 h-1; the specific rate of product formation due to maintenance is 1.1 h-1. The maximum specific growth rate of Z. mobilis is approximately 0.3 h-1.5 g bacteria are inoculated into 50 litres of medium containing 12 g l-1 glucose. Determine batch culture times required to produce 10 g biomass.

A bar tender replaces some quantity of alcohol having 40% concentration with water and thus the concentration of alcohol changes to 30%. If the alcohol which he replaced is mixed with another sample of 260 ml alcohol having 20% concentration, then a mixture having 27% concentration of alcohol is prepared. Find the initial quantity of alcohol having 40% concentration.
