Table 1. Key yields during anaerobic batch cultivations of free and encapsulated S. cerevisiae.
| YSE | YSGly | YSAce | YSLac | YSBiomass | Carbon recovery (%) | |
| Free | 427±4 | 56±1 | 5±0 | n.d. | 74±2 | 98.8±1.0 |
| Encapsulated | 439±3 | 48±2 | 2±0 | 3±0 | 41±3 | 96.3±0.8 |
Yields are shown as mg product per g consumed glucose from the start until the sampling of cells in the anaerobic batch cultivations. The molar CO2 production was assumed to be the same as the sum of ethanol and acetate. Error intervals shown are 95% confidence intervals, with n = 5. YSE – Ethanol yield, YSAce – Acetate yield, YSGly – Glycerol yield, YSLac – Lactate yield, YSBiomass – Biomass yield, n.d. – not detected.
