✦ Synopsis

It is shown that for the thermodynamic description of microbial growth there does not exist complete equivalency between the "efficiency" and "Gibbs energy dissipation" approach. The reasons for this absence of equivalency are discussed, and it is argued that the "dissipation approach" has much more favorable properties compared with the efficiency approach.

## Abstract In a recent publication, Heijnen and van Dijken (Biotechnol. Bioeng. 39: 833–858, 1992) reviewed the state of the art regarding the use of macroscopic methods in the correlation of biomass yields in growing microorganisms. In their article, reference is made to this author's work of som
