The specific growth rate of cells is independent on the concentration of nutrients in the medium.(a) True(b) FalseI had been asked this question in homework.I'm obligated to ask this question of Cell Growth Kinetics in chapter Homogenous Reactions of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

Right choice is (b) False

To elaborate: The specific growth rate of CELLS is dependent on the CONCENTRATION of NUTRIENTS in the medium. Often, a single substrate exerts a dominant INFLUENCE on rate of growth; this component is known as the growth-rate-limiting substrate or, more SIMPLY, the growth-limiting substrate. The growth-limiting substrate is often the carbon or nitrogen source, although in some cases it is oxygen or another oxidant such as nitrate.
