Question

In fed-batch fermentation, mass of substrate utilized is calculated using the relationship

a.

initial mass of substrate in the reactor + final mass of substrate in the reactor + flow rate x [substrate in the feed]

b.

initial mass of substrate in the reactor - final mass of substrate in the reactor + flow rate x [substrate in the feed]

c.

initial mass of substrate in the reactor + final mass of substrate in the reactor - flow rate x [substrate in the feed]

d.

initial mass of substrate in the reactor + final mass of substrate in the reactor - flow rate

Answer: (b).initial mass of substrate in the reactor - final mass of substrate in the reactor + flow rate x [substrate in the feed]
