Two organisms A and B with the same µmax and Yx/s are cultivated independently in batch culture. They have Ks values of 1 g.l-1 and 3 g.l-1 respectively. Given that the initial substrate concentration was 5 g/l, which of the following is TRUE after complete exhaustion of the substrate?

  1. Organism A will  have lower average specific growth rate than B.
  2. Organism A will have higher average specific growth rate than B.
  3. Both the organisms would have same average specific growth rate.
  4. The final biomass achieved in B would be higher than in A.
