The consistency of experimental data for hydrocarbon fermentations is reviewed using carbon and available electron balances and the mean values of the regularities for carbon weight fraction in biomass and biomass reductance degree. True growth yields and maintenance coefficients are estimated from both batch and continuousculture data and the results are compared.
