LP: lag-phase: time needed to reach 2% (ODmax-ODmin) (h), GR: growth rate: the slope of the linear part of the OD curve (OD/h), OD: final OD. Values with% are relative growth rate and final OD compared to that in reference medium. ‘---’: no effect compared to reference medium.

The compounds indicated in ‘italic’ were originally identified by their (converted and less toxic) alcohol forms; the compounds indicated in ‘bold’ were saturated when 1 g/l solutions were prepared at the fermentation temperature, in these cases, besides the saturated solution, a 2- and 5- fold dilution was used, represented in the 0.5 and 0.2 g/l columns, respectively; the ‘italic effects’ were NOT observed when tested in YPD medium.
