Tetrahymena thermophila protozoa have a minimum doubling time of 6.5 hours when grown using bacteria as the limiting substrate. the yield of protozoal biomass is 0.33 g per g of bacteria and the substrate constant is 12 mg i^-1. the protozoa are cultured at steady state in a chemostat using a feed stream containing 10 g i^-1 of nonviable bacteria.
(a) what is the maximum dilution rate for operation of the chemostat?
(b) what is the concentration of t. thermophila when the operating dilution rate is one-half of the maximum?
(c) what is the concentration of bacteria when the dilution rate is three-quarters of the maximum?
(d) what is the biomass productivity when the dilution rate is one-third of the maximum?

Some technological solutions to problems like global warming meet the specific needs and situations of local communities. an example from india involves converting the solid waste from cattle into clean-burning fuel for cooking. this reduces the amount of greenhouse gases, specifically methane and carbon dioxide, released into the environment from wood fires. when evaluating the feasibility of implementing this solution, computer models are used to weigh costs against benefits. what factor is least likely to impact the decision on adopting this technology?
