Answer: (A) partial cell recycling
In a chemostat, partial cell recycling allows the culture to maintain a higher dilution rate than the maximum growth rate by retaining some of the biomass, effectively increasing the total biomass concentration and extending the effective growth rate of the culture. Other options do not typically achieve this.
