#Section 3: Genetics, Cellular and Molecular Biology

The cell dies, it is lysed, its organelles are phagocytized, and its contents are recycled.
The cell's DNA and organelles become fragmented, the cell dies, and it is phagocytized.
The cell's DNA and organelles become fragmented, the cell shrinks and forms blebs, and the cell's parts are packaged in vesicles that are digested by specialized cells.
The cell's nucleus and organelles are lysed, and then the cell enlarges and bursts.

#Section 5: Bioprocess Engineering and Process Biotechnology

A bacterial culture having a specific oxygen uptake rate of 5 mmol O2 (g- DCW)^-1h-1 is being grown aerobically in a fed-batch reactor. The maximum value of the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient is 0.18 s for the stirred tank bioreactor and the critical dissolved oxygen concentration is 20% of the saturation concentration (8 mg L^-1). The maximum density to which the cells can be grown in the fed-batch process, without the growth being limited by oxygen transfer, is approximately

#Section 5: Bioprocess Engineering and Process Biotechnology

A strain of Azotobacter vinelandii is cultured in a 15-m³ stirred fermenter for alginate production. Under current operating conditions, ka is 0.17 s¹. The solubility of oxygen in the broth is approximately 8 × 10^-3 kg m ^-3.

(a) The specific rate of oxygen uptake is 12.5 mmol g^-1h^-1. What is the maximum cell concentration supported by oxygen transfer in the fermenter.............in g/l

#Section 5: Bioprocess Engineering and Process Biotechnology

A strain of Azotobacter vinelandii is cultured in a 15-m³ stirred fermenter for alginate produc- tion. Under current operating conditions, k_La is 0.17 s^-1. The solubility of oxygen in the broth is approximately 8 × 10^-3 kg m^-3.

(b) The bacteria suffer growth inhibition after copper sulphate is accidentally added to the fermentation broth just after the start of the culture. This causes a reduction in the oxygen uptake rate to 3 mmol g^-1 h^-1. What maximum cell concentration can now be supported by oxygen transfer in the fermenter?.....g/l
