Growth yields were determined with A. woodii strain NZva 16 on H2 plus CO2, formate, methanol, vanillate, ferulate and fructose in mineral medium in the absence and presence of 0.05% yeast extract. Yeast extract was not essential for growth but enhanced growth yields by 25-100% depending on the substrate fermented. Comparison of yields on formate or methanol allowed calculation of an energy yield in the range of 1.5-2 mol ATP/mol acetate formed during homoacetate fermentation of A. woodii. In the presence of 6 mM caffeate, growth yields were determined with the substrates formate or methanol. Caffeate was reduced to hydrocaffeate and increased growth yields were obtained. An ATP yield of .apprx. 1 mol/mol of caffeate reduced was calculated. Cytochromes were not detectable in cell free extracts or membrane preparations.
