1-Dont try to cram or spend more time here just read it fast and cover syllabus then practice MCQ's cheptor of same topic to check your progress. . |
2-Wrong options are also given but dont concentrate there, Right answer is in bold format. |
Q1 ⇒ Which of the following is used for aeration in a fermentor? Sparger [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] Impeller Baffles All of these |
Q2 ⇒ The Zygomonas has a merit over yeast because all of the above [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] it has more osmotic tolerance to higher sugar concentration it has high tolerance to ethanol it has more specific growth rate |
Q3 ⇒ Ethanol is produced by both (a) and (b) [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] continuous fermentation batch fermentation none of these |
Q4 ⇒ Which of the following organism is not used in any of the traditional industrial fermentation? E. coli [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] Yeast Bacillus Pseudomonas |
Q5 ⇒ Candida utilis is used for the fermentation of waste sulphate liquor since it ferments both hexoses and pentoses [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] hexoses only pentoses only none of these |
Q6 ⇒ Which of the following is used for agitation in a fermentor? Impeller [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] Baffles Sparger All of these |
Q7 ⇒ What are different substrates used for ethanol production? All of the above [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] Starch containing substrate Juices from sugarcane or molasses or sugar beet Waste product from wood or processed wood |
Q8 ⇒ After the fermentation is over, ethanol is recovered by distillation [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] centrifugation filtration cell disintegration |
Q9 ⇒ If starch containing substrates are used for ethanol production, yeast strain can't be used directly because it doesn't contain amylases to hydrolyze starch [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] starch is not a suitable substrate for the production of ethanol it is converted to pentose sugar none of the above |
