a).Cellulomonas bacteria used as single-cell protein for human or animal food are produced from glucose under anaerobic conditions. All carbon in the substrate is converted into biomass; ammonia is used as nitrogen source. The molecular formula is ; the cells also contain 5% ash. What is the maximum possible biomass yield from substrate in mass and molar terms?

Single cell protein (SCP) refers to protein derived from cells of microorganisms such as yeast, fungi, algae and bacteria, which are grown on various carbon sources for synthesis.
Explanation:
- The dried cells of microorganisms or the whole organism is harvested and consumed.
- Various microorganisms used for the production of SCP are bacteria (Cellulomonas, Alcaligenes, etc.), algae (Spirulina, Chlorella, etc.), molds (Trichoderma, Fusarium, Rhizopus, etc.) and yeast (Candida, Saccharomyces, etc.).
- Chlorella is a unicellular green alga.
- The species are used as SCP due to their higher growth rate very high content of proteins high chlorophyll as well as nucleic acid content.
- This can be used as an alternative protein source.
- Since the organism is unicellular it is a source of Single cell protein.
