Abstract
In aerobic batch cultures in mineral medium with glucose of a respirationβdeficient mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, growth parameters were estimated and the heat evolved was measured by a flow microcalorimeter. A growth enthalpy of β 163.6 joule per mole of glucose consumed was measured. Under anaerobic conditions, the value was β 134.6 joule, closer to the expected for alcoholic fermentation alone. The difference was found to be due to cyanideβresistant respiration under aerobic conditions.
