Table 5. Estimation of yield and maintenance coefficients of P. gingivalis and S. gordonii.
Number of bacteria produced by 24h | Dry weight of bateria produced by 24h (gx) | Substrate consumed by 24h (gs) | Yield coefficient Yxs () | |
---|---|---|---|---|
P. gingivalis | 2.88 ⋅ 1010 | 5.39 ⋅ 10−4 | 3 ⋅ 10−3 | 0.18 |
S. gordonii | 5.02 ⋅ 109 | 7.53 ⋅ 10−5 | 2 ⋅ 10−3 | 0.038 |
