1.1 Microbes in the soil could be beneficial to plants and one way to evaluate this is by determining the R/S ratio. Define the R/S ratio. 1.2 Both rhizospheric and root-free soils were collected from five (5) plants before (BT) and after (AT) treatment. Using the microbial biomass that appear in Table 1, the R/S ratios before (BT) and after (AT) can be determined. Use these values to determine the respective R/S ratios. Kindly show all workings.

A batch reactor was initially filled with organic substrate (S0) with an equivalentconcentration of COD = 1000 mg/L and 100 mg/L of bacterial biomass (X0). After 24 hraeration, the biomass in the reactor increased to 300 mg/L, while the substrateconcentration decreased to 200 mg/L as of COD; what is the observed biomass yield (Y)during this biodegradation process?

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?.
You are asked to determine the settleability of biomass in a suspended growth activated sludge sample that was brought to the laboratory. Describe the protocol you follow to achieve the objective. (If you prefer it, you can use your own numerical example to illustrate the process). Use drawings if you like to illustrate your point(s).
