TABLE 1.
Physiological variables for three A. oryzae strains measured during batch cultivation
| Strain | μmaxa | Exponential-phase yieldb | Final yieldb | No. of batch cultivations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A1560 | 0.23 ± 0.03 | 18 ± 4 | 31 ± 6 | 5 |
| ChsB/G | 0.22 ± 0.02 | 14 ± 4 | 38 ± 6 | 7 |
| CM101 | 0.19 ± 0.02 | 16 ± 4 | 40 ± 7 | 3 |
a
Per hour (± 95% confidence interval).
b
FAU of α-amylase per gram (dry weight) ± 95% confidence interval. One FAU is the amount of α-amylase which at 37°C hydrolyzes 5.26 g of starch h−1. Dry weight was determined in grams per kilogram of medium by drying biomass samples filtered on Whatman GF/C filter paper for 24 to 48 h at 105°C.
