Yields of various E. coli strains as a function of various carbon and nitrogen sources. a Yields of E. coli (K12, DL323 and K10zwf) in aerobic batch culture in SPG minimal media as a function of varying acetate (0.05%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 1%, 2.5%, 5% w/v) for K12 and varying glycerol (0.1%, 0.4%, 2%, 5%, 10% w/v) for K10zwf and DL323 in the presence of 0.2% ammonium sulfate. b Yields of E. coli (K10zwf and DL323) in aerobic batch culture in SPG minimal media as a function of varying sodium formate (0%, 0.02%, 0.04%, 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5% w/v) in the presence of 0.4% glycerol and 0.2% ammonium sulfate and trace metals. c Yields of E. coli (K12, DL323, and K10zwf) in aerobic batch culture in SPG minimal media as a function of varying ammonium sulfate (0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.5% w/v) in the presence of 0.3% acetate (K12), 0.4% glycerol (K10zwf and DL323) and trace metals
