C. beijerinckii SA-1/ATCC 35702 was grown in a single-stage chemostat containing d-glucose (30 g/liter) and d-xylose (15 g/liter) in the validated medium described in Table 4 at D = 0.135 h−1. The culture pH and three culture temperatures (30°C, 37°C, and 40°C) were evaluated.
The standard deviations were not determined for the final condition (40°C and pH 7.0).
