A bacterial culture is grown using either octadecane (C18H38) or pentachlorophenol (C6HOCI5)) as the sole source of carbon and energy. The cell yield value is determined by dry weight analysis to be 1.49 for octadecane and 0.05 for pentachlorophenol. Using either octadecane or pentachlorophenol, please describe the steps taken (and the final result) showing what percentage of th substrate carbon will be found as cell mass and as CO2?

You have decided to design a CSTR with recycle to degrade TCE (trichloroethylene) cometabolically by aerobic phenol-utilizing bacteria. To do this, you will feed phenol (C6H5OH; as a C source) and oxygen, along with required nutrients, to the reactor in order to grow a population of bacteria that can fortuitously degrade TCE. The problem is to first determine what mass of bacteria is required in the reactor to effect the TCE destruction desired, and then to determine how much phenol and oxygen must be fed to the reactor to maintain that population. The waste characteristics are as follows: Q0 = 5 m3/d, C0 = 100 μg/L TCE (influent concentration), X0 = 0 mg/L. The Xa selected for design is 1500 mg VSSa/L, and θx is 8 d. Kinetic coefficients for TCE decomposition are as follows: qTCE = 0.015 mg TCE/mg VSSa, KTCE = 0.5 mg/L. Kinetic coefficients for phenol degraders are Y = 0.8 g VSSa/g phenol, b = 0.1/d, q = 1 g phenol/g VSSa•d, and K(phenol) = 1 mg/L. 2.1. Determine the reactor size…

The substrate which was used to investigate the enzymatic activity of wheat bran phosphatase was p-nitrophenyl phosphate. It is converted to p-nitrophenol and inorganic phosphate by this enzyme. P-nitrophenol has a pKa of 7.1 and is colorless, while its conjugate base, p-nitrophenolate has a yellow color. The enzyme assay was performed at pH 5.1 after the 0.5 N KOH is added at the end of each enzyme assay, the pH of the assay mixture is raised to 9.1. Why was the base added?
