A Food Microbiologist would like to determine all the possible effects of temperature and pH on microbial growth rate (Kg). How will s/he express her/his hypothesis in an equation? Illustrate the effect of temperatures 4, 15, and 25 °C on microbial spoilage of food. Assume that spoilage takes place when APC > 5.0 log CFU/g.

Two microorganisms that use naphthalene as a food source have the same Umax but different Ks values for naphthalene. If both types of microorganisms are inoculated at the same cell density into a liquid culture containing naphthalene as the sole carbon source (i.e. the only food source), which microorganism will outcompete the other: the one with the higher Ks or the one with the lower Ks. Why?.
(b) A Food material containing Bacillus stearothermophilus PS1518 as an indicator organism ts subjected to heat sterilization at 121 C. Calculate the time required to reduce the organism to one tenth of the original number. Fo value for the organism is 4 minutes and the decimal reduction time , D, at 116°C is 40 minutes. Assume operation is at constant temperature of 121°C. HINT Fo = -To 10 dt Where Fo = equivalent exposure time at 121°C of the actual exposure time at a variable temperature To = the reference temperature =121 C, z=10 = number ofC necessary for10fold increase in F
The N excess/deficit factor for 100 kg of an organic material that contained 60% C (carbon) and 0.5% N (nitrogen) would likely be (assuming that 35% of the carbon is metabolized by microorganisms and the carbon and nitrogen are assimilated in a 10:1 ratio). -3.85 kg (deficit, N immobilization) -1.05 kg (deficit, N immobilization) -2.50 kg (deficit, N immobilization) -1.60 kg (deficit, N immobilization) -2.15 kg (deficit, N immobilization)

To determine the metabolizable energy (ME) of a petfood, I can use Modified Atwater Values (3.5, 3.5 and 8.5 Kcal/kg for NFE, protein and fat, respectively). Below is my petfood label. Calcluate the ME for the label in Kcal/kg. Moisture = 10% Protein = 28% Fat = 14% Ash = 4% Fiber = 4%
Nicotiana tabacum cells are cultured to produce a polysaccharide gum. The reactor used is a stirred-tank reactor with an initial volume of 100 L. The maximum specific rate of growth of the culture is 0.18 d-1 and the yield coefficient of substrate in biomass is 0.5 gX/gS. The concentration of the limiting substrate in the medium is 3% (m/v). The reactor is inoculated with 1.5 g/L of cells and operated in batch until the substrate is exhausted, when the medium is fed with a constant flow rate of 8 L/d. The fed batch occurs in a quasi-steady state condition.a) Estimate the time of the batch step and the concentration of cells reached in this phase, considering exponential cell growth.b) The fed batch phase is carried out for a period of 40 days. What is the final concentration of cells in the reactor?c) The bioreactor is available for the process for 275 days a year, with an interval of 24 hours between each cultivation. What is the most advantageous operating mode for the process…
'You have been working in the Quality Control lab at KOO [] for a month when you noticed a dramatic increase in the incidence of thermophilic incubator spoilage of canned sweet corn produced by the company. Describe the steps you would use to determine the cause of the increased spoilage. Your discussion must include the procedure(s) you would use to determine the thermal death time and the D-value of the spoilage organism. NB: Include your own diagrams as well. :

The phenol concentration of wastewater was determined from three (3) parallel determinations, giving a mean of 0.513 μg L-1 and a standard deviation of 0.05 μg L-1. Decide at a risk level of 5% (or a confidence level of 95%) whether a reference value of 0.520 μg L-1 is statistically different.
The following four chemicals commonly found in defined growth media contain all of the necessary atomic macronutrients, namely C, O, N, H, S and P, which microbes require: glucose (C6H12O6), K2HPO4, MgSO4.7H2O, and (NH4)HPO4. Part a. Create a simple diagram to map which growth media chemical contributes atoms to which of the four biological macromolecules (amino acids, polysaccharides, lipids, and ribonucleic acids). Part b. Consider a cell culture broth that originally (before inoculation with cells) contains 5.0 gr/L glucose (C6H12O6), 1.2 gr/L K2HPO4, 0.3 gr/L MgSO4∙7H2O, and 1.0 gr/L (NH4)HPO4. Create a table showing how much of each of the different atoms (C, H, O, K, P, Mg, S, N) are available for incorporation into cell macromolecules (assume 50% of the glucose is catabolized, while the remainder goes for energy (respiration). Express your answers with units of grams of atomic species / liter of culture broth.
