A newly identified bacterium is unable to synthesize ubiquinone. A mobile electron carrier called CXC3 is used as a substitute. From the information provided in the table, calculate the delta G knot prime and the Keq value at 298 K for the redox reaction that occurs in this bacterium’s electron transport chain. Explain the impact that using CXC 3 instead of ubiquinol will have on ATP production in the cell. How might this cell adapt to this situation?
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? Note: If you think you need more information than you are provided with here to solve this problem, use online resources to find the required information. In this case, please state your source clearly. Note: You may assume that the…
The Relative Efficiency of ATP Synthesis in Noncyclic versus Cyclic Photophosphorylation If noncyclic photosynthetic electron transport leads to the translocation of 7 H+/2e- and cyclic photosynthetic electron transport leads to the translocation of 2 H+/e-, what is the relative photosynthetic efficiency of ATP synthesis (expressed as the number of photons absorbed per ATP synthesized) for noncyclic versus cyclic photophosphorylation? (Assume that the CF1CF0-ATP synthase yields 3 ATP/14 H+.)
roblem 1An aerobic biochemical process uses a CSTR w/o recycle. The feed characteristics are asfollows: Influent substrate concentration, So = 200 mg/L; half- velocity coefficient, Ks = 50mg/L; maximum, specific substrate utilization rate, k = 5 g/g- day; yield coefficient, Y = 0.5g Xa/g substrate consumed; microorganism decay coefficient, b = 0.10 day-1.1. The process goal is the production of active biomass. Determine the hydraulicretention time that the reactor should be operated in order to maximize the reactoractive biomass concentration (Xa). How does this retention time compare with theminimum solids retention time that the system can theoretically be operated?Calculate the solids retention time safety factor.2. Based on the solids retention time for maximum Xa calculated above, estimate theactive biomass concentration (Xa) and the substrate removal efficiency (E, %)

A denitrifying bacterium is strictly anaerobic. However, it possesses an electron transport chain allowing « respiration ». The final acceptor is nitrate (NO3) that is reduced in nitrite (NO₂). The electrons are introduced in the chain by the reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide coenzyme (NADH + H*). 1- Write the net reaction of the electron transport chain used by the bacterium. 2- Calculate the corresponding standard Gibbs (free) energy of reaction. 3- Is the anaerobic respiration (using nitrate) more or less exergonic than the aerobic respiration (using O₂)? Justify your answer with numerical values.
Anaerobic production of ethanol by Saccharomyces cerevisiae is associated with yeast growth. The steady-state growth kinetics of yeast follows Monod. It is intended to produce 10 kg/h of ethanol in an ideal CSRT-type fermenter, fed by a solution of 50 g/L of glucose. Size the fermenter for this purpose (calculate its working volume), setting the biomass concentration at the exit of the fermenter at 6.9 g/L.
Some microbes like E. Coli have flexible metabolic systems that allow them to generate energy under aerobic and a erotic conditions. If E.coli is growing in the presence of O2, nitrate, and fumarate explain its metbalobic processes including which of these it will use first and why
