a

GAT, basal minimal medium; G4/4, medium found to be optimal for GS production; GATF1 and GATF2, phenylalanine-containing GAT media. GATF2 was found to be the optimal minimal medium and the most cost-effective in terms of 13C/15N-GS production.

b

Analogous to 1% G2T6 medium used in reference 22, but reduced here in ammonium sulfate and Tris.

c

Analogous to fructose-containing medium from reference 24.

d

GS average yield ± standard deviation over several (n) independent fermentation experiments (for GAT, n = 6; for G4/4, n = 10; for GATF1, n = 6; for GATF2, n = 4).
