#Question id: 19914

In aerobic yeast fermentation for production of citric acid from alkanes using a fed-batch culture, why alkanes are slowly fed to the yeast?

#Section 5: Bioprocess Engineering and Process Biotechnology
  1. Citric acid is toxic to the cells
  2. Alkanes cause foaming
  3. Fast addition of alkanes will inhibit the cells and reduce oxygen transfer rates
  4. Fast addition of alkanes will cause the cells to grow too quickly

#Section 2: General Biology

Proline and glycine both disturb the symmetry of α-helix which of the following are true regarding to these two amino acids
a) proline changes the orientation of hetropolymeric α-helix hence proline can be placed only as 1st amino acid residue near to C-terminus 
b) proline changes the orientation of polymeric α-helix hence proline can be placed only as 1st amino acid residue near to N-terminus
c) glycine disrupts the heteropolymeric α-helix by changing the helicity.
d) homopolymer of proline and glycine can form stable helix.
