View Available Hint(s) In a culture grown in a chemostat (continuous culture), the best way to increase the yield of bacteria (numbers of cells per mL) would be to __________. increase the growth rate increase the dilution rate (rate of addition of medium) increase the temperature increase the concentration of nutrients in the medium

Answer 1

In a culture grown in a chemostat (continuous culture), the best way to increase the yield of bacteria (numbers of cells per mL) would be to increase the concentration of nutrients in the medium

Step-by-step explanation:

A Continuous culture is to keep a culture growing indefinitely. This can be done if :

1. Fresh nutrients are continually supplied
2. Accumulated cells and waste products are removed at the same rate
3. Conditions such as temprature and pH are kept at their optimum values.

The best way to increase the yield of bacteria (numbers of cells per mL) would be to increase the nutrients concentration in the medium.
