“…This energy that is supplied through food or light is stored in organisms in the form of high energy molecules such as Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) [2,3]. Energy of the ATP molecule is used in many life functions such as mechanical works of muscles, cell movements, enzyme production, and osmotic processes.…”

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in living cells is very important. Di erent researches have shown that in terms of mathematical modeling, the domain of these investigations is essentially restricted. Recently the thermodynamic models have been suggested for calculation of the e ciency of oxidative phosphorylation process and rate of energy loss in animal cells using chemiosmotic theory and non-equilibrium thermodynamics equations. In our previous work, we developed a mathematical model for mitochondria of animal cells. In this research, according to similarities between oxidative phosphorylation process in microorganisms and animal cells, Golfar's model was developed to predict the non-equilibrium thermodynamic behavior of the oxidative phosphorylation process for bacteria in aerobic condition. With this model the rate of energy loss, / ratio, and e ciency of oxidative phosphorylation were calculated for Escherichia coli in aerobic condition. The results then were compared with experimental data given by other authors. The thermodynamic model had an acceptable agreement with the experimental data.
