*Generation time (Tg), maximum rate of specific growth (µmax). Equal and lowercase letters mean that there is no significant difference among cultures while equal and uppercase letters on a certain column show that there is no significant difference in the same photoperiod, at 95% confidence level (p < 0.05)
