In a chemostat operating under steady state, a bacterial culture can be grown at dilution rate higher than the maximum growth rate by _________ Correct Answer Partial cell recycling

D = F/V Dilution rate is the rate with which substrate is added to a continuous system and products are removed from the system. When dilution rate is higher than maximum growth rate wash out condition occurs in which the cell concentrations progressively decreases. Only way of culturing biomass in the case of wash out is by partially recycling the cells, which were removed from the system.

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 each question below is given a statement numbered I, II and III. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the following assumption and decide which of the assumption is implicit in the statement. Statement: The June 2018 quarter results of Infosys reflect that the investors waiting for the company to perform as good, if not better, than its largest peer Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) may have to wait a little longer. Infosys, the country’s second-largest software exporter reported slower sequential growth in revenue and profit than TCS for the June quarter (Q1). It also lagged on the fronts of employee attrition and growth in the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) vertical.  Assumptions: I. On the positive side, Infosys continued to add large clients – four in the above $100-million billing category compared with the previous quarter. It continued to retain guidance of 6-8% revenue growth for FY19 while retaining the operating margin band of 22-24%. II. In the near term, the stock performance of TCS is likely to overshadow Infosys given the difference in their growth trajectories. III. The growth momentum of Infosys has slowed relative to TCS. The year-on-year growth in trailing 12-month (TTM) revenue of Infosys in each of the four quarters up to the June 2018 quarter has lagged TCS after leading in the previous five quarters.
