Energy Supply and Cell Yield in Aerobically Grown Microorganisms

Eovaldo Hernandez 1, Marvin J Johnson 1
PMCID: PMC276767  PMID: 4862189

Abstract

Cell yields of Pseudomonas fluorescens, Aerobacter cloacae UW-C83, Escherichia coli K-12, Candida utilis UW-3, and Saccharomyces carlsbergensis UW-110 grown aerobically on several carbon sources are reported. The Yatp concept is discussed in relation to the yields on oxygen and to assumed P to O ratios for bacteria and reported P to O ratios for yeast.
