Question

2. A bioreactor has a volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient of 400 h-1. What is the maximum concentration of E. coli that can be grown aerobically in this reactor? The respiration rate of E. coli is 0.35 gO2/(gX•h). The critical oxygen concentration for this culture is 0.2 mg O2/L. Assume oxygen saturation is 6.7 mg O2/L.
