Chapter 14, Problem 1TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The following:
1. The identification of the conditions under which Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
2. The part of the ETS that needs to change in order to accommodate different forms.
Introduction:
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that mainly resides in soil, water as well as animal, plant, and human-associated environments. It has a versatile energy

Cyanide is a chemical that irreversibly binds to (i.e. prevents the functioning of) the enzyme cytochrome oxidase, an important enzyme in the electron transport system.
a) Explain, at the cellular level, why cyanide is a lethal chemical.
b) Suggest at least one other cellular consequence of cyanide (i.e. what else happens to the electron transport system when cyanide is present), and an explanation of this effect.
In aerobic respiration, cells generate heat as they grow. The amount of heat generated by cells
is proportional to the amount of oxygen they consume. Accordingly, it was found that 460 kJ is generated
per gmol of O2 consumed.
Suppose that you need to choose a fermenter for optimal growth of Bacillus subtilis cells. It is known that
the maximum oxygen demand of B. subtilis is 100 mol m3 h1. A vendor offers you a reactor with a
cylindrical shape (2.8 m in diameter) and 15 m³ volume. The reactor includes a cooling coil with 30 m
length and a pipe diameter of 6 cm, through which. For practical purposes, power input by the rotating
impeller inside the bioreactor can be neglected.
Does this reactor meet the cooling requirements of your production process?
