Part IV: Data Check For a 1,3-propanediol (C3H8O2) - PDO - production organism (C1H1.8O0.5N0.2) a first chemostat experiment is performed and measurements are made when the chemostat is at steady state. PDO is produced aerobically using glucose (C6H12O6) as a substrate and NH4+as N-source. The chemostat feed, Fin in m3/h, contains glucose and (NH4)2SO4 dissolved in water. Air sparging, with rate FN,in in mol/h3, is used to supply O2 to the organism and to remove CO2. The dry sparged air contains much more CO2 than normal and its composition is 21%O2;0.5%CO2 and 78.5%N2. Question 1 0.0/1.0 point (graded) Now that we calculated the values for: R5,Rx,Rp,RNH4+,R0 and RC, it should be checked whether the found values are correct. Which conservation relation can be used to check Rs,Rx,Rp and Rc ? N-conservation H-conservation Charge-conservation C-conservation O-conservation 1 point possible (graded) Check this conservation using the values of: Rs,Rx,Rp, and Rc. Are the values consistent? (The values are considered consistent when the element balance closes within a 5% margin) Yes No
