Question
Chapter 22.2, Problem 5CC
Summary Introduction
Some of the organism can effectively trap the energy in the form of inorganic chemicals are known as chemolithotrophs. Some of the inorganic compounds are iron, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide. The chemolithotrophs effectively converse energy uses the inorganic compounds that are released as waste by the chemoorganoheterotrophs and oxidase to release ATP.

- How many ATPs are produced from xylose by B.subtilis aerobically ?arrow_forwardAzotobacter vinelandii is being studied for the production of alginate from sucrose. In a continuous culture at 28°C with ammonia as a nitrogen source, the alginate yield obtained was 4 g/g of oxygen consumed. It is desired to produce alginate at a rate of 5 kg/h. As the viscosity of alginate in water is considerable, the energy related to stirring the broth cannot be neglected, and the fermenter is equipped with a Rushton-type turbine. For satisfactory agitation and aeration speed, the estimated energy requirement is 1.5 kW.
