The maximum solubility of the alkane in the medium is 5 ppm. If the actual dissolved concentration of the alkane in the medium is 1 ppm. what conclusion may be drawn?

Question: The maximum solubility of the alkane in the medium is 5 ppm. If the actual dissolved concentration of the alkane in the medium is 1 ppm. what conclusion may be drawn?
[A].

The growth rate is limited by the rate of mass transfer of the alkane into the fermentation medium

[B].

The growth rate is limited by the intrinsic kinetic properties of the cells and not by mass transfer

[C].

The growth rate is neither mass transfer nor kinetically limited

[D].

No conclusion on the growth rate can be withdrawn
