43 among 47 medium components were tested at three levels, level 0 (low), level 1 (intermediate) and level 2 (high). Level 1 is not shown but represents an intermediate concentration between level 0 and level 2 for each component. Glucose (6g/L) and NaHCO3 (2g/L) were kept constant, while NaCl and NaOH were used for osmolality and pH adjustments.
