You would like to maximize the amount of waste consumed while also minimizing the amount of cells produced. Assuming these organisms exist and all other things are equal, what combination of chemoorganotrophic organism and environment would make the most sense to use? An organism that only has the Entner-Duoduroff pathway under anaerobic conditions. This was a trick question – the organism would have to be a chemolithotroph since it is consuming a chemical.
