Effect of dilution rate on fermentation characteristics of wild type E. coli.

Dilution rate (h−1)	Biomass conc. (g/L)	Specific glucose uptake rate (mmol/g/h)	Specific acetate formation rate (mmol/g/h)	Biomass yield (g/g)	Specific CER (mmol/g/h)
0.2	1.45 ± 0.06	3.07 ± 0.13	ND∗	0.37 ± 0.015	9.15
0.4	1.87 ± 0.09	4.75 ± 0.23	0.01	0.47 ± 0.023	11.61
0.6	2.0 ± 0.09	6.67 ± 0.3	0.88 ± 0.04	0.5 ± 0.023	13.17
0.7	1.93 ± 0.08	8.05 ± 0.34	1.33 ± 0.06	0.48 ± 0.02	15.83

∗ND: not detectable, where glucose detectable limit is 0.038 g/L.
