A Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) is running at a dilution (D) of 0.3and the product formed is growth associated with= 0.2 g/g. In order to obtain productivity = 1.2we need to have at steady state a biomass concentration of:
Select an option to attempt
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
Cell concentration in continuous fermentation:Given parameters:• Volumetric productivity =• Dilution rate• Yield coefficientSolve for cell concentration:Answer: Cell concentration.
