Stoichiometric equations are used to represent growth of microorganisms provided a ' molecular formula' for the cells is available. The molecular formula for biomass is obtained by measuring the amounts of C, N, H, O and other elements in cells. For a particular bacterial strain, the molecular formula was determined to be C4.4H7.30 1.2N0.86 . These bacteria are grown under aerobic conditions with hexadecane (C16H34) as substrate. The reaction equation describing growth is:

                             

You have been put in charge of a small fermenter for growing the bacteria and aim to produce 2.5 kg of cells for inoculation of a pilot-scale reactor. What minimum amount of hexadecane substrate must be contained in your culture medium?

It is required to provide a 20-m^3 fermenter with air at a rate of 10 m^3 min ^-I for a fermentation lasting 100 hours. From an investigation of the filter material to be used, the optimum linear air velocity was shown to be 0.15 m sec^-I, at which the value of K was 1.535 cm^-I. calculate The dimensions (radius and depth) of the filter? The air in the fermentation plant contained approximately 200 micro-organisms m^-3. The acceptable degree of contamination is one in a thousand.
