Abstract
Thermodynamic efficiency of microbial growth on substrates that are more oxidized than biomass approaches 24%. This is the theoretical value for a linear energy converter optimized for maximal output flow at optimal efficiency. For growth on substrates more reduced than biomass, thermodynamic efficiencies correspond to those predicted for optimization to maximal growth rate (or yield) only.
摘要
微生物在比生物质氧化程度更高的底物上生长的热力学效率接近24%。这是针对在最佳效率下实现最大输出流量而优化的线性能量转换器的理论值。对于在比生物质还原程度更高的底物上生长，热力学效率仅对应于为优化最大生长速率（或产量）而预测的值。
