An exponentially increasing feed of concentrated substrate is fed into a fed batch reactor to maintain a constant specific growth rate 0.35. If the feed is 5 ml/hr at time, t = 0, then feed after 4 hrs will be approximately:
Select an option to attempt
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
Exponential feeding in fed-batch fermentation:In fed-batch culture with exponential feeding:whereis initial feed rate,is the desired specific growth rate, t is time.Given:,,:Answer: Feed rate at t = 4 h.
