a) In a batch cultivation of a microorganism, the following data has been obtained. The unit for X is g/L. Calculate the maximus specific growth rate (-max)

b) The same microorganism is used in a simple chemostat, with a working volume of 500 liter. Sterile substrate is added to the reactor at concentration of 8 g/l. Kinetics of cell growth follows Monod model, and the saturation constant is 1 g/l. The biomass yield is 0.25 g/g substrate. Calculate the biomass and substrate concentration at the exit of reactor for following substrate flow rates.

A) F = 50 liter/h

B) F= 100 liter/h

Part a) In a batch cultivation of a microorganism, the following data has been obtained. The unit for X is g/l. Calculate the maximum specific growth rate (max). Part b) The same microorganism is used in a simple chemostat, with working volume of 500 liter. Sterile substrate is added to the reactor at concentration of 8g/. Kinetics of cell growth follows Monod model, and the saturation constant is 1g/l. The biomass yield is 0.25g/g substrate. Calculate the biomass and substrate concentrations at the exit of reactor for following substrate flow rates A) F=50 liter/hr B) F=100 liter /hr
