Consider the growth of microorganism in batch culture, inoculated at a biomass concentration of 0.1g/L growing as the limiting substrate with the initial concentration S<sub>°</sub> =10 g/L. After a lag time of 3 h, the culture grows exponentially with a minimum doubling time of 2h. Stationary phase is reached after a total time of 14 h. Assume that there was no death phase. Calculate the total time in culture to reach stationary phase if S° were 2g/L, assuming that this concentration is also sufficient to support maximal growth (i.e., S>>Ks over the entire fermentation).
