Notes.

ΔRhamnolipids

Difference between final and initial rhamnolipid concentration

ΔBiomass

Difference between final and initial cellular concentration

Y_P∕X

Yield of product synthesized per unit of cell mass produced

Y_P∕S

Yield of product synthesized per unit of substrate consumed

Q_P

Volumetric rhamnolipids production rate

$Q_{S\left(\mathrm{gly}\right)}$

Volumetric glycerol consumption rate

$Q_{S\left(\mathrm{NO3}\right)}$

Volumetric nitrate consumption rate. The parameters for the condition “H₂O” were calculated at 100 h of culture
