The total dry mass of artificial diet is 12.67 g. The total mass of yeast, casein, sucrose, and cellulose is 9 g. The values for dietary protein and carbohydrate are based on yeast containing 55% protein and 0.9% carbohydrate, and casein containing 90% protein, and sucrose containing 98% carbohydrate.
