Subject Code : MTBT-103-18
M.Code : 75764
Time : 3 Hrs. Max. Marks : 60
INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES :
1.Attempt any FIVE questions out of EIGHT questions.
2.Each question carries TWELVE marks.
1. a) What do you understand by the term "Fed-batch culture.
b) Explain the unstructured product formation kinetics with relevant expressions.
2. Xanthan gum is produced using Xanthomonas campestris in a batch culture as per
following reaction stoichiometry. A medium containing glucose and ammonia dissolved
in 20,000 litres of water is pumped into the CSTR fermenter and inoculated with X.
campestris. Air is pumped; the off gas recovered during the entire batch is 1250 kg. The
final gum concentration is 3.5 wt%.
Reaction stoichiometry per unit mass of glucose:
1g glucose + 0.23g O
