Growth yields of L. monocytogenes Scott A cultivated in batch culture at 37°C in mineral medium E as a function of the initial glucose concentrations. Left axis (●), numerical cell yield of L. monocytogenes Scott A grown in mineral medium with increasing glucose (gluc) concentrations from 1.25 g liter⁻¹ up to 12.5 g liter⁻¹ in triplicate samples; right axis (♢), biomass yield of cells (L. monocytogenes Scott A) grown in mineral medium with different concentrations of glucose (1.25, 2.5, 3.75, 5.0, 6.25, and 7.5 g liter⁻¹). The error bars indicate the standard deviations of triplicate samples.
