The kLa of a small bubble column (2 l) has been measured as 20 h-1 at an airflow of 4 l/m in. If the rate of oxygen uptake by a culture of Catharanthus roseus is 0.2 mmol O2/g dry weight-h and if the critical oxygen concentration must be above 10% of saturation (about 8 mg/l), what is the maximum concentration of cells that can be maintained in the reactor?

IAA has been found to be conjugated to both high- and low-molecular-weight compounds such as,

a) Low-molecular-weight conjugated auxins include esters of IAA with glucose or myo-inositol and amide conjugates such as IAA-N-aspartate

b) High-molecular-weight IAA conjugates include IAAglucan and IAA-glycoproteins found in cereal seeds

c) High-molecular-weight conjugated auxins include esters of IAA with glucose or myo-inositol and amide conjugates such as IAA-N-aspartate

d) Low-molecular-weight IAA conjugates include IAAglucan and IAA-glycoproteins found in cereal seeds

Which of the following is the correct prediction about low-and high-molecular weight ?
