Question 1.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae has modified in numerous crucial ways. The major one being
that they have the ability of breaking down their food through anaerobic fermentation and
aerobic respiration. S. cerevisiae, improves in yeast ethanol production and tolerance. It should
be noted that the maximum hypothetical yield of ethanol from glucose is 0.511 g/L.
To show the working
0.511 g/L of glucose: 0.51g/L ethanol (maximum)
So, we have 6g/L of glucose + 4 g/L of arabinose = 10 g/L
To calculate the final ethanol yield after S. cerevisiae fermentation we first settle on the fact that
to produce 2 moles of...
