Aqueous two phase partitioning (ATPS) is used for the recovery of an enzyme from the cell free culture filtrate on addition of PEG2000 and dextran. The mixture separates into two phases with a partition coefficient for the enzyme = 4.2. The maximum possible enzyme recovery, when the volume ratio of the upper to lower phases is 5.0 will be:

The equation for aerobic production of acetic acid from ethanol is:
CH2OH+O2→CH3CO2H+H2O.
(ethanol) (acetic acid)
Acetobacter aceti bacteria are added to vigorously-aerated medium containing 10 g.14 ethanol. After some time, the ethanol concentration is 2 g.-2 and 7.5 g.11 of acetic acid is produced. What is the observed yield (Yoing-) and theoretical yield (Yting-8") of acetic acid from ethanol?
