Three main classes of photoreceptors mediate the effects of UV-A/blue light:

a) the cryptochromes,

b) the phototropins,

c) the phytochrome and

d) the ZEITLUPE (ZTL)

Function of these photoreceptors are-

An activated-sludge waste treatment system is required to reduce the amount of BOD₅ from 1000 mg/l to 20 mg/l at the exit. The sedimentation unit concentrates biomass by a factor of 3. Kinetic parameters are µ_m = 0.2 h-1 , K_s = 80 mg/l, k_d = 0.01 h-1 , and Y ^M _X/S = 0.5 g MLVSS/g BOD₅. The flow of waste water is 10000 l/h and the size of the treatment basin is 50,000 l. What is the value of the solids residence time?

A two-stage chemostat system is used for production of secondary metabolite. The volume of each reactor is 0.5 m³; the flow rate of feed is 50 l h^{- 1}. Mycelial growth occurs in the first reactor; the second reactor is used for product synthesis. The concentration of substrate in the feed is 10 gl^-1. Kinetic and yield parameters for the organism are:

Assume that product synthesis is negligible in the first reactor and growth is negligible in the second reactor. Determine cell concentrations entering the second reactor.
