Process performance charts for BCB1 batch cultivation on 25% complex media.a) measured raw data. (Dots), Biomass formed; (Stars), Initial substrate consumed; (Squares), Gluconic acid formed; (Open triangles down), Mannitol formed; (Open Diamonds), NH₃-N consumed. b) statistically verified measured raw data and calculated process variables. (Dots), Biomass formed; (Stars), Initial substrate consumed; (Squares), Gluconic acid formed; (Open triangles down), Mannitol formed; (Diamonds), Complex nitrogen consumed, (Open Diamonds), NH₃-N consumed. c) physiological dynamics including cumulated yields and RQ. (Solid line), RQ; (Dots), Yield Biomass·Substrate^-1; (Squares), Yield Gluconic acid·Substrate^-1; (Crosses), Cumulated Percentage of Complex Nitrogen. d) specific formation rates for biomass and gluconic acid. (Dots), specific growth rate; (Squares), q_p Gluconic acid; (Diamonds), q_s complex nitrogen sources; (Open Diamonds), q_s NH₃-N.
