✦ Synopsis
The experimental technique for measurement of microbial culture heat evolution directly in fermenter has been described and its correctness analysed. Heat-to-oxygen ratio, Qo, of synchronized yeast culture in the absence of fermentative metabolism has been found to be practically independent of a cell cycle phase and close to the theoretical constant predicted by the mass-energy balance theory. The collection of literature data on the heat-to-oxygen ratio is given. Energetic properties of cell biomass are discussed on the bask of the obtained and the surveyed values of Q0.
