Quasi – steady state in fed batch is when?(a) Growth rate remains constant(b) Dilution remains constant(c) Growth rate changes variably(d) μ remains constant |

Answer» Right answer is (c) Growth rate changes variably Easy explanation: The major difference between the steady state of a chemostat and the quasi steady state of a fed batch culture is that μ is constant in the chemostat but decreases in fed-batch. However, in the genuine steady state of a chemostat, dilution rate and growth rate are constant whereas in a fed-batch quasi steady state they change over the time of fermentation. |
