Nicotiana tabacum cells are cultured to high density for production of polysaccharide gum. The reactor used is a stirred tank, containing initially 100 litres medium. The maximum specific growth rate of the culture is 0.18 d-1 and the yield of biomass from substrate is 0.5 g g-l. The concentration of growth-limiting substrate in the medium is 3% (w/v). The reactor is inoculated with 1.5 g l- 1 cells and operated in batch until the substrate is virtually exhausted; medium flow is then started at a rate of 4 l d-1. Fed-batch operation occurs under quasi-steady-state conditions. Fed-batch operation is carried out for 40 d. What is the final mass of cells in the reactor?

The interaction of selection and inbreeding in determining the incidence of autosomal recessive diseases. Consider a gene in which recessive mutations occur at a rate of 10-5. Assume a selective disadvantage S of 0.4 in homozygotes for the recessive allele. What is the frequency of the recessive allele (q). And calculate the incidence of the disease. Assume random mating.
