What is the yield coefficient if the initial substrate concentration is 10 g/l and biomass is 0.1 g/l. The substrate is then consumed and produces 5.3 g/l of biomass?(a) 0.50 g biomass / g substrate(b) 0.52 g biomass / g substrate(c) 0.54 g biomass / g substrate(d) 0.56 g biomass / g substrateThe question was posed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.Origin of the question is Yields in Cell Culture in division Homogenous Reactions of Bioprocess Engineering |

Answer» CORRECT answer is (B) 0.52 G biomass / g substrate Best explanation: Yield = (5.3 – 0.1 g biomass) / (10 g substrate) = 0.52 g biomass/g substrate. |
