A tubular-bowl centrifuge is used to concentrate a suspension of genetically-engineered yeast containing a new recombinant protein. At a speed of 12 000 rpm, the centrifuge treats 3 l broth min-1 with satisfactory results. It is proposed to use the same centrifuge to separate cell debris from homogenate produced by mechanical disruption of the yeast. If the average size of the debris is one-third that of the yeast and the viscosity of the homogenate is five times greater than the cell suspension, what flow rate can be handled if the centrifuge is operated at the same speed? _____________________

Pseudomonas sp. has a mass doubling time of 2.4 h when grown
on acetate. The saturation constant using this substrate is 1.3 g/l (which is
unusually high), and cell yield on acetate is 0.46 g cell/g acetate. If we
operate a chemostat on a feed stream containing 38 g/l acetate, find the Cell
productivity at 0.8 Dmax?
