Effects of different concentrations of 22:6n-3 on growth, VFA production and biohydrogenation by Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens D1
| Concentration of 22:6n-3 (μg/mL) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 8 | 16 | 32 | |
| Lag phase (h) | < 3 | < 3 | 4-5 | > 48 |
| OD600 c | 1.13 ± 0.07a | 1.22 ± 0.10a | 1.04 ± 0.07b | NDd |
| Total VFA (μmol/tube) | 93.0 ± 3.3 | 94.0 ± 6.2 | 94.2 ± 4.9 | ND |
| Biohydrogenation | No | No | No | No |
cIncrease in OD600 after 48 h of incubation compared to initial OD600 at 0 h
dND- Not determined as growth was not started till 48 h
Means with different superscripts in OD600 (a and b) are significantly different (P < 0.05)
