question about substrate

Post by hady2006 »

hello ,
we use this equation to describe denitrification :
1,083CH3OH + NO3 → 0,065 C5H7O2N + 0,758 HCO3 +0,242 OH + 1,4 H2O + 0,46 N2
substrate (organic ) is CH3OH and the product is biomass ( C5H7O2N ) it is also organic
my question is about the difference between substrate and biomass and is C5H7O2N a substrate ?

thanks for your help :roll:
