Question: Consider the growth of a microorganism in batch culture. When the substrate concentration is high, the cell density doubles every 0.75 h, the observed substrate yield coefficient is 0.3 g DCW/g, and substrate consumption is allocated towards biosynthesis (60%), maintenance (10%), as well as product formation (30%). The product formation is strictly growth-associated. The batch reactor is inoculated with 0.01 g DCW/L and 10 g/L substrate. Estimate the maximum cell density (after lag phase).

Options

A : 1.21 g DCW / l

B : 1.41 g DCW / l

C : 1.61 g DCW / l

D : 1.81 g DCW / l
