- Saccharomyces cerevisae, a type of yeast, uses ammonia as its primary nitrogen source
- Past research has shown that ammonia concentration affects growth
- In this paper, the researches wanted to know if ammonia flux, and not concentration, is the limiting factor
- Physiological Parameters
- S. cerevisae was first grown in cultures with different levels of ammonia, but fixed glucose concentrations
- Increases in the ammonia concentration from 29 to 61 mM showed a change in biomass from 4.9 to 8.2 g/L
- After 61 mM, however, there was no significant increase in biomass
- Formula to calculate ammonia flux: [dilution x (input ammonia concentration - residual ammonia concentration)/biomass]
