Continuous stirred tank fermenter is characterized by (biomass concentration X kg/m3, residual substrate is S kg/m3, Sf=substrate concentration in feed kg/m3, Dilution rate = D and µm>>D and Km<Sf, XD= the biomass productivity kg/m3h. If the dilution rate is doubled to 2D then the new steady state values in comparison with earlier steady state is characterized by

  1. decreased X,increased S, increased XD
  2. BX doubles, S unchanged, XD unchanged

  3. X unchanged,S-doubles, XD unchanged
  4. X unchanged, S-doubles, decreased XD
