Question: 6 . 9 . Pseudomonas s p . has a mass doubling time of 2 . 4 h when grown on acetate. The saturation constant
Pseudomonas has a mass doubling time of when grown on acetate. The saturation constant using this substrate is which is unusually high and cell yield on acetate is cellg acetate. If we operate a chemostat on a feed stream containing acetate, find the following:
a Cell concentration when the dilution rate is onehalf of the maximum
b Substrate concentration when the dilution rate is
c Maximum dilution rate
d Cell productivity at
