Biochemical Miscellaneous

  1. In a batch culture, the specific rate of substrate utilization is 0.25 g (g cell mass)–1 h–1 and specific rate of product formation is 0.215 g (g cell mass)–1 h–1. Calculate the yield of product from the substrate (Yp/s). ______ ​
    1. 0.81 to 0.91
    2. 0.27 to 0.31
    3. 81 to 91
    4. 0.91 to 0.98
Correct Option: A

Given, for a batch culture ​
Specific rate of substrate utilization = 0.25 g/g/h ​
Specific rate of product formation = 0.215 g/g/h ​
Yield of product (YP/S) = 0.215/.25 = 0.86
