What is the yield coefficient if the initial substrate concentration is 20 g/l and biomass is 0.2 g/l. The substrate is then consumed and produces 6.0 g/l of biomass?(a) 0.09 g biomass / g substrate(b) 0.19 g biomass / g substrate(c) 0.20 g biomass / g substrate(d) 0.29 g biomass / g substrateThe question was asked in homework.My doubt is from Yields in Cell Culture topic in division Homogenous Reactions of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

The correct choice is (d) 0.29 g BIOMASS / g substrate

Best EXPLANATION: YIELD = (6.0 – 0.2 g biomass) / (20 g substrate) = 0.29 g biomass / g substrate.
