Question:

When the bacterium Zymomonas mobilis is used to produce ethanol from glucose in an anaerobic process with ammonia as the nitrogen source, it is found that bacteria biomass is produced to the extent of 0.06 C-moles per C-mole of glucose. The biomass has an elemental composition of CH1.8O0.5N0.2. What are the fractional conversion of glucose to ethanol (on a C-mole basis), the amount of ammonia used, and the amount of carbon dioxide produced per C-mole of glucose consumed?
