Reference no: EM131312067

A solution containing a denitrifying bacteria Micrococcus denitrificans at a concentration of 1 × 10^-6 kg/dm³ is introduced into a semibatch reactor where the growth rate is given by r = k([X][O₂][S]/Ks + [S]), where [O2] is the oxygen concentration (mol/dm³). An excess of substrate [S] was used. If after 3 h of operation, the concentration of the bacteria is 3 × 10^-5 kg/dm3, what is the specific growth rate of the bacteria?
