This table presents the different settings within each of the ten cultivation parameters. Each of the 55 conditions in the chemostat compendium is characterized by a combination of settings of the ten cultivation parameters. The colored matrix in Figure 1 is a schematic representation of the settings of the cultivation parameters for each condition. Abbreviations of cultivation parameter settings used in the schematic representation are stated between parentheses in this table.
