Equations and thermodynamic changes at 298.15 K and 1 atm representing the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae anaerobically on glucose and aerobically on glucose, ethanol, and acetic acid, with ammonia as the nitrogen source ... 

Example 12.7 Develop a model for the anaerobic batch fermentation of glucose to ethanol and coproduct CO2 using Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The starting mixture contains 10% glucose. The inoculum is 0.0005 w/w. Product inhibition stops cell growth at 14% ethanol. Assume ka = 0 but include the cannibalization of cellular material beginning when the substrate is completely consumed.

Fig. 1. Redox metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae during anaerobic growth on glucose. The ethanol yield is lowered by the production of biomass and glycerol. The glycerol flux, x, can be decreased, and the ethanol yield thereby increased if the stoichiometric coefficient a for biomass formation is reduced, e.g., by having nitrogen assimilation via an NADH-depen-dent glutamate dehydrogenase [10]...
