Cellulomonas bacteria used as single-cell protein for human or animal food are produced from glucose under anaerobic conditions. All carbon in the substrate is converted into biomass; ammonia is used as nitrogen source. The molecular formula for the biomass is CH_I.560_0.54N_0.16; the cells also contain 5% ash. How does the yield of biomass from substrate in mass and molar terms compare with the maximum possible biomass yield?
