Chapter 22, Problem 4AL
Summary Introduction
Thiobacillus is called colorless sulfur bacteria because sulfur-containing compounds are used as electron and energy sources. They are sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. Whereas Desulfovibrio is sulfate or sulfur reducing bacteria and during anaerobic respiration, they reduce sulfate or elemental sulfur to hydrogen sulfide.

Part c) Which graph has the largest specificity or efficiency constant? Please explain.arrow_forwardArsenate 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.arrow_forwardIn aerobic respiration, cells generate heat as they grow. The amount of heat generated by cells is proportional to the amount of oxygen they consume. Accordingly, it was found that 460 kJ is generated per gmol of O2 consumed. Suppose that you need to choose a fermenter for optimal growth of Bacillus subtilis cells. It is known that the maximum oxygen demand of B. subtilis is 100 mol m3 h1. A vendor offers you a reactor with a cylindrical shape (2.8 m in diameter) and 15 m³ volume. The reactor includes a cooling coil with 30 m length and a pipe diameter of 6 cm, through which. For practical purposes, power input by the rotating impeller inside the bioreactor can be neglected. Does this reactor meet the cooling requirements of your production process? Note: If you think you need more information than you are provided with here to solve this problem, use online resources to find the required information. In this case, please state your source clearly. Note: You may assume that the…arrow_forward
