A batch reactor was initially filled with organic substrate (S0) with an equivalent concentration of COD = 1000 mg/L and 100 mg/L of bacterial biomass (X0). After 24 hr aeration, the biomass in the reactor increased to 300 mg/L, while the substrate concentration decreased to 200 mg/L as of COD; what is the observed biomass yield (Y) during this biodegradation process

Food Microbiology

The subdivision of microbiology that deals with the interaction between microbes and food particles are called food microbiology. This scientific study incorporates both beneficial and harmful microbes and their effect on the food production, food storage, and health of human beings.
