Textbook Question
Chapter 11.10, Problem 5RIA
Arsenate is a compound that inhibits substrate-level phosphorylation. Compare the effect of this compound on an H2-oxidizing chemolithotroph, on a sulfite-oxidizing chemolithotroph, and on a chemoorganotroph carrying out fermentation.

Anaerobic production of ethanol by Saccharomyces cerevisiae is associated with yeast growth. The steady-state growth kinetics of yeast follows Monod. It is intended to produce 10 kg/h of ethanol in an ideal CSRT-type fermenter, fed by a solution of 50 g/L of glucose. Size the fermenter for this purpose (calculate its working volume), setting the biomass concentration at the exit of the fermenter at 6.9 g/L.Note: CSTR = Continuous Stirred Tank ReactorData: μmax = 0.1 h-1; Ks = 0.5 g/L; YX/S = 0.15; YP/S = 0.45.(answer: V = 5435 L)
