What is the unit of Maintenance coefficient “m”?(a) kg substrate (kg biomass) S^-1(b) kg substrate (kg biomass) S(c) kg substrate (kg biomass)^-1 S^-1(d) kg substrate (kg biomass)^-1 SThis question was addressed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.This key question is from Effect of Maintenance on Yields topic in portion Homogenous Reactions of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

Right option is (C) kg substrate (kg biomass)^-1 S^-1

Easy explanation: A maintenance COEFFICIENT is USED to describe the specific rate of substrate uptake for cellular maintenance, or

m = – [dS/dt]m/X

Unit of maintenance coefficient , m. is kg substrate (kg biomass)^-1S^-1.
