1 Yield coefficients were calculated for a time period of 4 hours starting with the feeding start. Here YX/S includes also biomass formed from acetate which is consumed during this phase.
2 Batch samples were taken at the end of the exponential growth phase.
3 Fed-batch sample was taken 4 h after the feed start.
4 Numbers in brackets indicate standard deviations between different cultivations.
