ro2 =
In which ro2 is the oxygen required for each gram of cells produced, N stands for no. of
atoms present in each molecule substrate, y stands for mass fractions and M is the MW of
the substrate. The yeast cell may be considered to be CH1.800.5NO.2. Calculate rO2 if the
yield factor (Yx/s) is 0.46g of cells produced for each gram of substrate consumed.
