B. release of gases by the microbial populations
C. swimming of microbes
D. none of the above

Correct Answer: B. release of gases by the microbial populations

7. In batch culture, protogon is produced from peptone during the stationary phase with a yield of 0.4 protogon mg per g of peptone. If it is to be produced in a chemostat at a dilution rate of 0.5 h-1 from a medium containing 10 g.l-1 of peptone, then the rate of protogon synthesis would be

A. 0 g.l-1h-1
B. 0.5 g.l-1h-1
C. 1 g.l-1h-1
D. 2 g.l-1h-1

Correct Answer: A. 0 g.l-1h-1

8. Formation of end product by Lactococcus lactis will become non-growth associated as lactic acid accumulates because

A. cells will redirect ATP to anabolism
B. cells will redirect NAD+to anabolism
C. cells will redirect ATP to facilitate the diffusion of lactic acid and H+out of the cells
D. cells will redirect ATP to the active transport of lactic acid and H+out of the cells

Correct Answer: D. cells will redirect ATP to the active transport of lactic acid and H+out of the cells
