"In
order
to
elucidate
the
question
which
was
posed
at
the
outset [As
the
macromolecular
composition
of
microorganisms
varies
during
their
life
cycle
it
was
asked
whether,
and
to
what
extent
such
changes
exert
any
influence
on
substrate
consumption,
i.e.
growth
yield
and
carbon
conversion
efficiency,
respectively?],
five
different
cell
compositions
were
chosen.
Depending
on
their
content
of macromolecules
and
polymers
the
"cell
formulae"
summarized
in
Table
1 were
obtained.
These
apparently
do
not
vary
significantly
(cf.
Babel
and
Muller
1985a)." C4H6.501.9N0.7 is reasonably accurate for yeasts |
