How many molecules of ATP are formed per molecule of oxidation of glucose?

How many molecules of ATP are formed per molecule of oxidation of glucose? Correct Answer 36

In one cycle of glycolysis, 6 ATP is obtained. Each molecule of glucose gives 2 pyruvate which corresponds to 6 ATP. There is also formation of 2 acetyl-CoA molecules which is about 24 ATP. Thus each molecule of Glucose give 36 ATP. ( Note that about 34 ATP molecules are consumed in glycolysis thus the net yield is 2 ATP).

How many ATP molecules are produced per glucose molecules in eukaryotic Glycolysis?
A bacterial culture with an appropriate biomass composition of CH1.8O0.5N0.2 is grown aerobically on a defined medium containing glucose as the sole carbon source and ammonia being the nitrogen source. In this fermentation, biomass is formed with a yield coefficient of 0.35 gram dry cell weight per gram of glucose and acetate is produced with a yield coefficient of 0.1 gram acetate per gram of glucose. The respiratory coefficient for the above culture will be
