system for manufacture of single-cell protein is Methylophilus methylotrophus. This organism is produced aerobically from methanol with ammonia as nitrogen source. The molecular formula for the biomass is CH 1.6800.36N0.22; these cells contain 6% ash. If the actual yield of biomass from methanol is 42% the thermodynamic maximum, what is the oxygen demand?

To ensure turbulent conditions and minimum mixing time during agitation with a turbine impeller, the Reynolds number must be at least 104. A stirred laboratory-scale fermenter with a turbine impeller 5 cm in diameter is operated at 800 rpm. If the density of broth being stirred is close to that of water, what is the upper limit for viscosity of the suspension if adequate mixing is to be maintained?
