The same culture (with the m and K, values as computed above) is cultivated in a 10 L chemostat being operated with a 50 mL min-1 sterile feed containing 50 g L-1 of substrate. Assuming an overall yield coefficient of 0.3 (g- DCW) (g- substrate), the respective values of the outlet biomass and substrate concentrations are

In a two-stage chemostat system, the volumes of the first and second reactors are V₁ = 500 l and V₂ = 300 l, respectively. The first reactor is used for biomass production and the second is for a secondary metabolite formation. The feed flow rate to the first reactor is F = 100 l/h, and the glucose concentration in the feed is S = 5.0 g/l. Use the following constants for the cells.

Determine glucose concentration in the effluent of the first stage. _____________________
