1. The growth of baker's yeast (S. cerevisiae) on glucose may be simply described by the following equation: C6H12O6 + 3 O2 + 0.48 NH3 → 0.48 C6H10NO3 + 4.32 H2O + 3.12 CO2 уeast In a batch reactor of volume 105 1, the final desired yeast concentration is 50 gdw/l. Using the above reaction stoichiometry: a) Determine the concentration and total amount of glucose and (NH4)2SO4 in the nutrient medium. b) Determine the yield coefficients Yx/s (biomass/glucose) and Yxo2 (biomass/oxygen). Determine the total amount of oxygen required. c) d) If the rate of growth at exponential phase is rx=0.7 gdw/l-h, determine the rate of oxygen consumption (g O2/1-h).
