Streptomycin is extracted from the fermentation broth using an organic solvent in a counter-current staged extraction unit. The

distribution coefficient of streptomycin at pH = 4 is KD = Yi/Xi = 40, and the flow rate of the aqueous (H) phase is H= 150 L/min. If only five extraction units are available to reduce the streptomycin concentration from 10 g/L in the aqueous phase to 0.2 g/L, determine the required flow rate of the organic phase (L) in the extraction unit.

Answer:

6.75l l/min

Explanation:

Streptomycin is extracted  from the fermentation broth using an organic solvent in a counter current staged extraction unit.

for 5 stage counter current staged extraction unit for streptomycin

X5 = 0.2g/l

X0 = 10.0g/l

X5/X0 = 0.02

given

Xn/X0, E, and

n = 5

A estimate of E  can be evaluated directly;

E = 1.8

= LKd/H

by substituting the given values; Kd = 40, H= 150l/min

then we have,

L;L = 1.8(150)/40

= 6.75l l/min

Mashutka [201]

The new hypotheses proposed by different scientists are often criticized by the others because these new hypotheses contradict the ideas and hypotheses that already exist. Adapting one's mind to a new hypotheses explaining a past event is often difficult when more clear hypotheses were already given earlier. Thus, the hypotheses suggesting the extinction of the dinosaurs are difficult for the scientific community to accept.

Biological augmentation is a process that _________. answer correct uses organisms to detoxify polluted ecosystems use organisms
nikdorinn [45]
Biological augmentation is a process that uses organisms to add essential materials to a degraded ecosystem. It involves the addition of archaea, or bacteria cultures required to speed up the rate of degradation of a contaminant, this is supplementation application of non-toxic, natural, beneficial microbes, enzymes and minerals to enhance the rate of degradation.

g Choose the correct answer from the list. Group of answer choices DNA sequences that are deduced by comparing many related DNA
REY [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Group of answer choices DNA sequences that are deduced by comparing many related DNA sequences are called CONSENSUS. Unlike DNA synthesis, RNA synthesis requires TRANSCRIPTION. PROMOTERS direct RNA polymerase to the initiation site. RNA synthesis complexes containing DNA, RNA, and polymerase perform TRANSLATION. RNA synthesis (tRNA, mRNA, and rRNA) takes place in complexes containing DNA, RNA, and polymerase are called TRANSCRIPTION BUBBLES. The expression of beta-galactosidase requires the induction of operons by addition of REPRESSORS.

adell [148]

Answer:

B) cAMP

Explanation:

Phosphodiesterase is an enzyme that breaks a phosphodiester bond, for example in molecules such as cAMP and cGMP. So, phosphodiestarases are  are regulators of signal transduction: regulate the duration of signaling pathway.

Caffeine is  central-nervous-system stimulant and the mechanisms of its action usually are: mobilization of intracellular calcium or inhibition of specific phosphodiesterases.

notsponge [240]
I think the correct answer is ions.
An action potential occurs when a neuron sends information down an axon, away from the cell body. A neuron that emits an action potential, or nerve impulse is said to fire. These action potentials are generated by special types of voltage hated ion channels that are embedded in the plasma membrane of the cell.
