^†

The kinetic parameters are based on the best-fit line through the data (±95% confidence interval). μ, specific growth rate; cell_max, maximum cell concentration; Y_p∕x, product yield coefficient per cell; q, specific H₂ production rate; r_max, maximum H₂ production rate. p-values calculated from one-way ANOVA test comparing results across treatments.
