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).

EXPERIMENT :UTILIZATION OF SOLID WASTE FOR PRODUCTION OF VALUE-ADDED PRODUCTS OBJECTIVES : To apply techniques/ technologies in waste management system for production of value-added products PROCEDURES: Separate the peels of different fruits were separated and oven dried at 50°C, ground and sieved through mesh screen. 50 ml of 10% (w/v) HCl was added to each waste (40 gm) in conical flask respectively. The mixture in water bath was placed at 100° C for one hour. The mixture was cooled down and the mixture was filtered through Whatman filter paper. The filtrate was diluted with sterile distilled water at varying concentration. The fruit hydrolysate was autoclaved at 121°C for 15 minutes. Saccharomyces cerevisiae was maintained on the YDPA at 28 °C. In 250 mL conical flasks, each of 100 mL of various fruit hydrolysate growth media supplemented was added with (NH4)2SO4 (2 gm), KH2PO4 (1gm), MgSO4.7H2O (0.5 gm), NaCl (0.1 gm), CaCl2 (0.1 gm). The initial pH of all the culture media was…
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 procedures you would use to determine the thermal death time and the D-value of the spoilage organism.

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?.
Name at least one reason that we might want to use a Winogradsky column rather than a laboratory medium such as nutrient agar or beef heart agar. Describe why metabolism in the presence of oxygen might cause problems for microorganisms.

Someone want to you an antimicrobial agent that leads 99.999% inactivation when the initial microbial load was 10^7 CFU/mL.Firstly can you determine the experimental set-up. Clarify the dilutions you made and show the viable number of CFU from each dilution.
The activated sludge process was developed from empirical knowledge and is now widely used for wastewater treatment. From a microbial point of view, i. Discuss how the ecology of different sectors of the process can be defined. ii. Design an experiment to understand how an efficient process differs from one with problems, such as sludge bulking.
