Manufacturers use citric acid as a flavoring agent in soft drinks, fruit juices, and many other foods. Worldwide, the market for citric acid is valued at hundreds of millions of dollars per year. Commercial production uses the mold Aspergillus niger, which metabolizes sucrose under carefully controlled conditions. The yield of citric acid strongly depends on the concentration of FeCl3 in the culture medium, as indicated in the graph. Yield of citric acid (%) 90 80 70 60 50 1 2 3 [FeCl,] (mg/L) 4 5

Penicillin is hydrolyzed and thereby rendered inactive by penicillinase, an enzyme present in some resistant bacteria. The mass of this enzyme in Staphylococcus aureus is 29.6 kd. The amount of penicillin hydrolyzed in 1 minute in 10 ml solution containing 10–9 g of purified penicillinase was measured as a function of the concentration of penicillin. Assume that the concentration of penicillin does not change during the assay.

Calculate the amount of rice bran (12.5% CP), corn (8.5% CP), soybean meal (49% CP) and copra meal (20% CP) in formulating 100 kg diet with 20% CP. Assume that the energy mixture will have a ratio of 2:1 and protein ingredients proportion is 1:3. Show your solution:
Stoichiometric equations can be used to represent the growth of microorganisms provided a 'molecular formula' for the cells is available. The molecular formula for biomass is obtained by measuring the amounts of C, N, H, O, and other elements in cells. For a particular bacterial strain, the molecular formula was determined to be C4.4H7.301.2No.86. These bacterial cells are grown under aerobic conditions with hexadecane (C16H34) as substrate. The reaction equation describing growth is: 1 C16H34 + 16.28 O2 +1.42 NH3 → 1.65 C4.4H7.301.2No.86 + 8.74 CO2+ 13.11 H20 You are in charge of a small batch fermenter for growing the bacteria you need to produce 8.2 kg of cells for inoculation of a pilot-scale reactor. a) What minimum amount of hexadecane substrate (in kg) must be contained in your culture medium? Assume 100% conversion of hexadecane to cells. b) What must be the minimum concentration of hexadecane (in kg/m3) in the medium if the fermenter working volume is 5.8 cubic meters? c) What…
Copper ions present in Benedict’s reagent react with the free end of any reducing sugars, such as glucose, when heated. Originally blue in color, these copper ions are reduced by the sugar and produce an orange-red colored precipitate. Alternatively, iodine-potassium iodide (IKI) may also be used when working with starch. IKI contains special tri-iodine ions which interact with the coiled structure of a starch polymer. Prior to a reaction, the IKI displays a yellow-brown color; however, after reacting with starch, a dark purple or black color is presented. The molecule pictured below produced a blue color when tested with Benedict’s reagent, a yellow color when tested with IKI, and a violet color when tested with Biuret reagent. Based on the structure shown below and these chemical results, what kind of biomolecule is this?
