The adaptations of desert animals to their environmentinclude water conservation mechanisms. A number of theseorganisms conserve water so successfully that they neveractually drink it. They depend instead on water generatedduring metabolism. Determine how much water can beobtained by the oxidation of 1 mole of palmitic acid.
The water in theYellowstone NationalPark hot springs shownhere is around 160°F(70°C). Biologistsassumed that no speciesof organisms couldlive in water aboveabout 130°F (55°C), sothey were surprisedto find several speciesof bacteria there, nowcalled thermophiles(“heat-lovers”). You’ve learned in this chapter how an enzymefrom one species, Thermus aquaticus, made feasible one of themost important DNA-based techniques used in labs today.Identify the enzyme, and indicate the value of its being isolatedfrom a thermophile. Suggest other reasons why enzymes fromthis bacterium (or other thermophiles) might also be valuable
roblem 1An aerobic biochemical process uses a CSTR w/o recycle. The feed characteristics are asfollows: Influent substrate concentration, So = 200 mg/L; half- velocity coefficient, Ks = 50mg/L; maximum, specific substrate utilization rate, k = 5 g/g- day; yield coefficient, Y = 0.5g Xa/g substrate consumed; microorganism decay coefficient, b = 0.10 day-1.1. The process goal is the production of active biomass. Determine the hydraulicretention time that the reactor should be operated in order to maximize the reactoractive biomass concentration (Xa). How does this retention time compare with theminimum solids retention time that the system can theoretically be operated?Calculate the solids retention time safety factor.2. Based on the solids retention time for maximum Xa calculated above, estimate theactive biomass concentration (Xa) and the substrate removal efficiency (E, %)
When you flush your toilet, where does the wastewater go? Trace the actual flow of this water in yourcommunity from your toilet through sewers to awastewater treatment plant (or to a septic system)and from there to the environment. Try to visit a local sewage treatment plant to see what it does withwastewater. Compare the processes it uses with thoseshown in Figure 11.32. What happens to the sludgeproduced by this plant? What improvements, if any,would you suggest for this plant?
