Final Biomass (g/L) 2.0 ± 0.13 4.0 ± 0.13 3.7 ± 1.3 4.1 ± 0.1
UDP (mg/L) 6.4 ± 1.6 80 ± 4.4 28 ± 15.5 65 ± 3.3
ACT (mg/L) 18.5.0 ± 7.5 520 ± 17.0 267 ± 23.6 500 ± 17.7

Biomass, UDP and ACT concentration indicated in the table corresponds to 120 hrs.

1Data based on 4 biological replicates each in triplicate. Un-optimized MTPs contained a medium with MES buffer and no glass beads.

2Data based on 3 biological replicates each in triplicate. Optimized MTPs and Shake flasks (SF) contained a medium with 100 mM MOPS buffer to maintain constant pH and 3 mm glass beads.

3Data based on three cultivations.
