All fermentations were carried out in mMRS medium, adjusted to pH 5.4, containing (per liter) 20 g of peptone (Oxoid), 16 g of meat extract (Lab-Lemco; Oxoid), 8 g of yeast extract, 2 g of K2HPO4, 5 g of CH3COONa·3H2O, 2 g of (NH4)3C6H5O7, 0.5 g of cysteine-HCl, 0.2 g of MgSO4·7H2O, 0.038 g of MnSO4·H2O, 1 ml of Tween 80, and 10 g of maltose plus 5 g of fructose as carbohydrate sources. All determinations were performed in triplicate. The standard deviations are given in parentheses.
