assume the OUR=2093mg
3. The plant-based meat producer, Impossible Foods, makes leghemoglobin (a protein containing heme) using a genetically engineered yeast cultured at 30∘C. The maximum specific oxygen uptake rate for is 10kg/m3. The critical oxygen concentration is 10% of the saturated value (7.8mg/L) in the medium. (15 marks) a) Determine the minimum oxygen transfer coefficient necessary to sustain the culture. b) During the culture, lethal agents are added to the medium to kill all yeasts IMMEDIATELY. Increase in oxygen concentration is recorded with the aid of DO probe from a certain time. According to the following data, estimate the oxygen transfer coefficient for the fermenter.
a) To determine the minimum oxygen transfer coefficient necessary to sustain the culture, we need to calculate the oxygen uptake rate (OUR) of the yeast culture.
The OUR is gi...
