Efficiency of lipid synthesis by yeasts.
The efficiency of lipid synthesis by ethanol-grown yeasts is characterized using the coefficient of the lipid energetic yield (eta(1)). This coefficient is defined as the fraction of energy in an organic substrate that is converted to lipids. The advantages of eta(1) compared with the "fat coefficient" (F(s)) as well as the biomass energetic yield (eta) compared with Y(s) are discussed.
