Sample questions

1. Which of the following BEST describes the primary objective of industrial fermentation?

a.To observe the natural growth patterns of microbes in their native habitats

b.To study the genetic makeup of microorganisms under controlled conditions

c.To completely eliminate the need for chemical synthesis in industrial processes

d.To deliberately use microorganisms on a large scale to produce commercially valuable products

2. All of the following are general requirements for carrying out an industrial fermentation process EXCEPT:

a.A suitable microorganism that can produce the desired product in high yield

b.A production fermenter or bioreactor to contain the process

c.Adequate water and nutrient sources for microbial growth

d.A continuous supply of pure oxygen at all stages of the process

3. The process of growing microorganisms on a moist solid substrate with little or no free water is known as:

a.Submerged fermentation

b.Solid state fermentation

c.Fed-batch fermentation

d.Continuous fermentation

4. A bioprocess engineer is designing a system where sterilized nutrients are continuously added to the fermenter at a fixed rate, and the end products are simultaneously removed. This type of fermentation is called:

a.Solid state fermentation

b.Continuous fermentation

c.Fed-batch fermentation

d.Batch fermentation

5. Which of the following is the MOST significant factor that differentiates primary metabolites from secondary metabolites in microbial fermentation?

a.Secondary metabolites are essential for the immediate survival of the microorganism, while primary metabolites are not

b.Primary metabolites are always more complex in chemical structure than secondary metabolites

c.Primary metabolites are produced during the growth phase, while secondary metabolites are produced during the stationary phase

d.Primary metabolites are exclusively produced by bacteria, while secondary metabolites are produced by fungi
