Candida Stellatais A Yeast Frequently Found in Wine Fermentations

Candida stellata is a yeast commonly found in wine fermentation. A study examined its sugar metabolism under aerobic conditions in continuous culture using fructose as the carbon source and ammonium phosphate as the nitrogen source. The yields were 0.025 g biomass/g fructose, 0.21 g ethanol/g fructose, and 0.07 g glycerol/g fructose.

Aerobic sugar metabolism

Candida stellatais a yeast frequently found in wine fermentations.


Its sugar metabolism is being studied under aerobic conditions. In
continuous culture with fructose (C6H12O6)as the carbon source and
ammonium phosphate as the nitrogen source, the yield of biomass
from fructose is 0.025 g/g, the yield of ethanol (C2H6O) from fructose
is 0.21 g/g, and the yield of glycerol (C3H8O3) from fructose is 0.07
g/g.
(a) If the rate of sugar consumption is 190 g/ h, what is the rate of
oxygen consumption in g/h
(b) What is the RQ for this culture?
