The growth of S.cerevisiae on glucose under anaerobic conditions can be described by the following reaction: C6H12O6 + aNH3 → 0.59 CH1.64N0.16O0.52 (biomass) + 0.43 C3H8O3 + 1.54CO2 + 1.3C2H5OH +0.036H2O Determine the biomass (MW= 23.74) yield coefficient Y x/s

The growth of S.cerevisiae on glucose under anaerobic conditions can be described by the following reaction: C6H12O6 + aNH3 → 0.59 CH1.64N0.16O0.52 (biomass) + 0.43 C3H8O3 + 1.54CO2 + 1.3C2H5OH +0.036H2O Determine the biomass (MW= 23.74) yield coefficient Y x/s Correct Answer 0.078 g. g⁻¹

Yx/s = 0.59xMW biomass/1xMWglucose = 0.59×23.74/1×180 = 0.078 g. g⁻¹.
