Biomass yields and energetic yields of oleaginous yeasts in batch culture

Abstract

This article provides the analysis on biomass yields and energetic yields of the oleaginous yeasts. The biomass yields of the oleaginous yeasts are consistently lower than nonoleaginous microorganisms, whereas their energetic yields are higher. Data inconsistencies of literature are explained by the variation of energy contents of oleaginous yeasts. Copyright © 1986 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
