As a technologist in the brewing industry, your job is to research and develop ways to improve the yield and quality of brewed beverages. You are responsible for growing and maintaining the particular strain of microorganism that is used in the fermentation of beverages. Name 2 environmental factors that would affect the growth of this organism and which you will need to optimize for abundant growth of your organism.

You will appreciate the abundance of soil microbes when you consider that the plate of them we generated was taken from a 10-5 dilution. Just what IS a 10-5 dilution? It is 1 in _____________________________________. Were there any fungus-like forms on the plates we prepared from the soil extract?
You are responsible for the bioremediation of soil contaminated by jet fuel. Your coworker suggests you fertilize the soil with nitrogen and phosphorus to promote the growth of naturally occurring hydrocarbon-degrading microbes. However, you just read about a new mixture of microbes sold in a slurry with nutrients and a surfactant. What data do you need to collect to decide which approach would be best? How will you obtain these data?
You're in charge of bioremediation of jet fuel-contaminated soil. Your colleague advises that you add nitrogen and phosphate to the soil to encourage the development of naturally existing hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria. However, you've just read about a new microbe slurry containing nutrients and a surfactant that's being marketed. What information do you need to gather in order to choose the best course of action? How are you going to get these numbers?
Examine the following graph. Note that the growth rate increases slowly until the optimum is reached, andthen it declines steeply over higher temperatures. In other words, organisms tolerate a wider range oftemperatures below their optimal temperature than they do above the optimum. Explain this observation please explain the observation
If a biotechnologist wishes to obtain a primary metabolite, they will harvest the organism/media during log phase. If a biotechnologist wishes to obtain a secondary metabolite, they will harvest the organism/media during stationary phase. Can you explain this distinction regarding the metabolism of the cell at these two different batch culture growth phases?
A batch reactor was initially filled with organic substrate (S0) with an equivalentconcentration of COD = 1000 mg/L and 100 mg/L of bacterial biomass (X0). After 24 hraeration, the biomass in the reactor increased to 300 mg/L, while the substrateconcentration decreased to 200 mg/L as of COD; what is the observed biomass yield (Y)during this biodegradation process?
