Impact of Doubling Substrate Concentration in a CSTR on Biomass and Substrate Levels
79. Doubling the substrate concentration in the inlet of a CSTR (with cells following Monodgrowth kinetics) will, after reaching the new steady state, lead to: (a) Higher biomass concentration but […]

77. In a fed batch culture the feed rate of concentrated substrate is increased with timewhile the RPM of the impeller is kept constant. You will most likely observe one […]
Understanding Reactor Scaling and Impeller RPM in Bioreactor Design
76. Scaling up a reactor while keeping the power consumption per unit volume constant will lead to: (a) Decrease in RPM of the impeller of the larger reactor (b) Holding […]

73. To have an extended late log/ stationary phase so that secondary metabolites may beproduced, you will prefer to use: (a) Batch reactor (b) Fed batch reactor (c) Fluidized bed […]
Understanding Washout in Two-Stage CSTR Systems in Series
72. In a two stage CSTR in series, the first reactor runs at a dilution rate D1 <µmax and the inletsubstrate concentration (S0) is two-times greater than Ks, then: (a) […]
Effect of Column Design on Enzymatic Conversion in Immobilized Enzyme Systems
71. Two immobilized enzyme columns with equal enzyme loading and same column volumeare run at the same feed rate and same inlet substrate concentration. It is observedthat the taller and […]
