Gluconic acid is produced using Aspergillus niger in batch culture. Laboratory experiments have shown that for each gram of glucose utilised by the bacteria, 0.23 g oxygen and 0.01 g ammonia are consumed, while 0.8 g gluconic acid, 0.1 g cells, 0.27 g gaseous CO2, and 0.13 g H20 are formed. Other components of the system such as phosphate can be neglected. Calculate the experimental yield coefficient of product from blomass (g/g). Round your answer to only one decimal place (i.e. 4242.3). Moving to the next question prevents changes to this answer, Question & of 9
