- Question
The maximum solubility of the alkane in the medium is 5 ppm. If the actual dissolved concentration of the alkane in the medium is 1 ppm. what conclusion may be drawn?
Options- A. The growth rate is limited by the rate of mass transfer of the alkane into the fermentation medium
- B. The growth rate is limited by the intrinsic kinetic properties of the cells and not by mass transfer
- C. The growth rate is neither mass transfer nor kinetically limited
- D. No conclusion on the growth rate can be withdrawn
- Correct Answer
