  1. A chemostat is operated at a dilution rate of 0.6 h–1. At steady state, the biomass concentration in the exit stream was found to be 30 g l–1. The biomass productivity  (g l–1h–1) after 3h of steady state operation will be ______
    1. 9
    2. 38
    3. 18
    4. 58
Correct Option: C

Given, Biomass concentration in the exit stream ​​​​​​= 30 g/L ​
Dilution rate of the chemostat = 0.6 h-1
​Therefore, Biomass productivity of the chemostat ​​​​= 30 × 0.6 gL–1h–1 = 18 gL-1h-1
