Carbon, available electron, and energetic yields are determined from literature data for photoheterotrophic and mixotrophic growth. Maintenance coefficients and energetic yields corrected for maintenance are estimated using covariate adjustment methods for several sets of data. Results are presented and compared for anaerobic photoheterotrophic growth, microaerobic photoheterotrophic growth, aerobic photoheterotrophic growth, and aerobic mixotrophic growth to gain a better understanding of yields for these photosynthetic processes.
