Comments "Results published in 1965 by Herbert et al. (1965 PMID 5318988), and later confirmed by Bauer and coworkers in 1974–1976 (Bauer and Shiloach, 1974 PMID 4606791: Shiloach and Bauer, 1975: Bauer and Ziv, 1976 PMID 813791), indicate that the yield-constant for oxygen of an E. coli w strain growing on glucose as a carbon source is close to 1 (1 g of oxygen is needed for the production of 1.06 g of E. coli biomass)."
