5. STOICHIOMETRY OF CELL GROWTH. Candida utilis is a yeast that is approved for use as a food additive, and is used in industrial production of carotenoids and other biochemicals. A batch cell culture of Candida utilis growing on glucose (C6H12O6) and ammonia (NH3) is used to grow additional cells under aerobic conditions. Given feeds of 550 g glucose, 230 g ammonia and 280 g oxygen (O₂) (assume O₂ is bubbled through so that all 280 g are easily accessible to the cells): A. Which nutrient is the limiting nutrient? B. What mass of new cells (dry basis) will be produced when the limiting nutrient is fully consumed? (Assume that the cells stay in exponential growth phase until all of this nutrient is consumed.) C. Write the balanced stoichiometric equation for cell growth. D. What is the respiratory quotient (RQ) for this cell growth? Notes: There are two values for cell formula for Candida Utilis growing on glucose. Use the first entry with a specific growth rate of 0.08 h¹. Yields based on glucose and O₂ are in Table 6.1. The cell yield per gram of ammonia consumed (if it is the limiting reactant), YX/NH3 = 1.44 g/g.

b. Compounds A, B, C, and D are known to be intermediates in the pathway for production of protein E. To determine where the block in protein-E production occurred in each individual, the various intermediates were given to each individuals cel Is in culture. After a few weeks of growth with the intermediate, the cells were assayed for the production of protein E. The results for each individuals cells are given in the following table. A plus sign means that protein E was produced after the cells were given the intermediate listed at the top of the column. A minus sign means that the cells still could not produce protein E even after being exposed to the intermediate at the top of the column. Denote the point in the pathway in which each individual is blocked.

17. The unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has two flagella assembled from tubulin proteins. If a researcher changes the pH from approximately neutral (their normal growing condition) to pH 4.5, Chlamydomonas cells spontaneously lose their flagella. After the cells are returned to neutral pH, they regrow the flagella—a process called reflagellation. Assuming that you have deflagellated Chlamydomonas cells, devise experiments to answer the following questions: 1. Do new tubulin proteins need to be made for reflagellation to occur, or is there a reservoir of proteins in the cell? 2. Is the production of new mRNA for the tubulin proteins necessary for reflagellation? 3. What is the optimal pH for reflagellation?
