: A bioreactor is used to produce a biological product using a microorganism. The bioreactor has a volume of 1000 L and is operated at a temperature of 25°C. If the microorganism has a specific growth rate of 0.1 h-1, what is the doubling time of the microorganism?
Substituting the given values:
Substituting the given values:
t d = 0.1 l n ( 2 ) = 6.93 h
