Fermentation Reactors - Medical Science

Q1:

Production of organic acids in batch culture is generally growth associated phase followed by non-growth associated production. The probable reason for this is that

A organic acids uncouple catabolism from anabolism

B biomass yields increase as the fermentation proceeds

C organic acids are secondary metabolites

D high concentrations of organic acid promote the growth of the microbial population

ANS:A - organic acids uncouple catabolism from anabolism
