Growth Rate Curve, Maximum net specific growth rate, Doubling Time

Example 6.1 Textbook – Michael L et al. Bioprocess Engineering Basic Concept

A strain of mold was given in a batch culture on glucose and the following data obtained.

Time
(h)
Cell Concentration
(g/L)
Glucose concentration (g/L)

a.    Calculate the maximum net specific growth rate.
b.    Calculate the apparent growth yield.
c.     What maximum cell concentration could one expect if 150 g of glucose were used with the same size in a column?
d.    The doubling factor
