15. In aerobic yeast fermentation for production of citric acid from alkanes using a fed-batch culture,
why alkanes are slowly fed to the yeast?
󰯭 Citric acid is toxic to the cells
󰯰 Alkanes cause foaming
󰯳 Fast addition of alkanes will inhibit the cells and reduce oxygen transfer rates
󰯶 Fast addition of alkanes will cause the cells to grow too quickly
