Question

The anaerobic growth of the yeast S. cerevisiae with glucose as a nutrient source is described by the following equation: C6H12O6 + bNH3 ? 0.59C1.74N0.2O0.45(biomass) + 0.43C3H8O3 + 0.036H2O + 1.54CO2 + 1.3C2H5OH (a). Estimate the yield of biomass production. (b). Estimate the yield of the products production. (c). Estimate the stoichiometric coefficient b. (b). Estimate the yields Yn/S (g of cells dry weight/g of substrate) and Yn/O2 (g of cells dry weight/g of O2). [Ans Yn/S=0.073, YC3H8O6/S=0.29, YEtOH/S=0.30, YCO2/S=0.38, b=0.118]
