Growth rates of Lb. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and S. cerevisiae measured from monocultures in several growth media under strict anaerobiosis at 35°C^a

Microorganism	Medium	Growth rate (h−1)
Lb. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus	BC-lactose	0.18 ± 0.003
	YP-lactose	0.52 ± 0.005
	MRS	0.64 ± 0.002
S. cerevisiae	CDM-galactose	0.10 ± 0.007
	BC-galactose	0.31 ± 0.013
	YP-galactose	0.38 ± 0.003

^aFor each condition, averages and standard deviations were obtained from duplicates of independent cultures.
