Enzyme activity was monitored over the last two stages of an enzyme extraction-separation process. 0.4 g protein, from Stage 5, converted 46 mmol substrate in 10 sec, and 0.02 g protein, from Stage 6, converted 49 mmol in 30 sec. Calculate the specific activities in units/g at each of the two steps

Culture comprising a B. subtlis strain by inoculating 1g of cells into 1 liter bioreactor. Fermentor containing 10g/l of glucose. The maximum specific growth rate of the culture is 1.0 /h. The biomass yield from glucose is 0.5 g/g. If the residual glucose concentration left out is 1g/l, the final cell concentration in g/l achieved would be around
