Solution-Determining the biomass production
A new train of yeast is being considered for biomass production. The following data were obtained using a chemostat. An influent substrate concentration of 800 mg/l and an excess of oxygen were used at a pH of 5.5 and T = 35 °C.
Using the following data, calculate the YMX/S, Kd, and Ms.
