The specific linkages between sugar rings, including the specific carbons that are linked together and the configuration of the linkage, are important for the properties of the polysaccharide;

 I) Amylose                             a)β(1,3)-linkages                                  

 II) Cellulose                            b) β (1,4)-linkages

  III) Callose                             c) α(1,4)-linked

                                                 d) α (1,3)-linkages

A 20-1 stirred fermenter containing a Bacillus thuringiensis culture at 30°C is used for production of microbial insecticide, ka is determined using the dynamic method. Air flow is shut off for a few minutes and the dissolved-oxygen level drops; the air supply is then re-connected. When steady state is established, the dissolved-oxygen tension is 78% air saturation. The following results are obtained. Estimate ka.
