A bacterial culture is grown using either octadecane (C18H38) or pentachlorophenol (C6HOCl5)) as the sole source of carbon and energy. The cell yield value is determined by dry weight analysis to be 1.49 for octadecane and 0.05 for pentachlorophenol. Using either octadecane or pentachlorophenol, please describe the steps taken (and the final result) showing what percentage of the substrate carbon will be found as cell mass and as CO2? Please show all calculations and give correct answers.
