The oxygen requirement for cell growth in glucose can be represented by the following equation (Mateles, 1971) ro2 32Nc+8(Nh2)+16(No2) Yx/sM +yo2 – 2.67yc + 1.714yN2 – 8y H2 In which ro2 is the oxygen required for each gram of cells produced, N stands for no. of atoms present in each molecule substrate, y stands for mass fractions and M is the MW of the substrate. The yeast cell may be considered to be CH1.800.5NO.2. Calculate rO2 if the yield factor (Yx/s) is 0.46g of cells produced for each gram of substrate consumed.

C6H12O6 + a*O2 + b*NH3 --> c*CH1.8O0.6N0.12 + d*CO2 + e*H2O + f*C6H8O7 Citric acid can be produced according to the above formula by aerobically growing Aspergillus niger mold in a solution containing glucose as a substrate. The chemical composition of this mold is CH1.8O0.6N0.12. The yield of biomass from glucose is 0.34 g g-1 and the yield of citric acid from glucose is 0.535 g g-1. Using a reduction balance, calculate how many moles of oxygen are needed per mole of glucose. In this calculation, use the following rounded even values as atomic weights for all calculations: C=12 g/mol, H=1 g/mol, O=16 g/mol ja N=14 g/mol. So how many moles of oxygen are needed per mole of glucose ? Calculate the answer to three decimal places.

Can xylane powder from beechwood be dissolved in M9 media? I'm evaluating the production of hydrogen with E. coli (it has a construction that alows this strain to depolimerize xylane into xylose monomers by an endoxylanase), but i have a limited amount of this xylane, and i read TB, AM1 & M9 mediums were used, but they don't say if they just poured the xylan powder into the media solution, i also read they autoclaved it with a soft acid solution and then neutralized it with a basic soluction, but this is an acid hydrolyzate (AH) plus enzymatic hydrolysis (EH). It ´s certain that using both would enhance available xylose concentration, but i want to evaluate EH by itself, and i still can't find if it is just added as powder to the media. Would it dissolve? do i have to add some kind of buffer to the media?.
The absorption of ketoconazole has been shown to be impaired in patients with drug-induced achlorhydria. The drug absorption was increased significantly to approximately 65% when the drug was taken with an acidic beverage such as Coca-Cola (pH 2.5). Ketoconazole is a synthetic azole antifungal agent and a weakly dibasic compound with pKa of 2.9 and 6.5. Using the information provided and the pH partition hypothesis, justify the use of Coca-Cola to improve the absorption of this antifungal agent.
