Cell surface properties of Yarrowia lipolytica NCIM 3589 when grown on bromobenzene and glucosea.
| Property | Bromobenzene | Glucose |
|---|---|---|
| Average cell diameter (μm) | 3.63 | 2.28 |
| Cell surface area (μm)2 | 41.38 | 16.32 |
| ESV (μm/s) | 0.79 | 0.31 |
| Electron donor capacity (%) | 9.97 | 3.7 |
| Electron acceptor capacity (%) | 0.65 | -2.29 |
| Cell surface hydrophobicity (%) | 89 | 87.8 |
| Surface tension (mN/m) | 48.06 | 49 |
| Emulsification activity [EU/mL] | 0.37 | 0.33 |
| Water contact angle (𝜃) | 51.5 | 49.1 |

aCells were grown on 0.5% (v/v; 47.6 mM) BrB and glucose for 72 h and further processed as stated in Section “Materials and Methods.” ESV, estimated sedimentation velocity. Electron donor capacity and Electron acceptor velocity were estimated by the MATS test as described in Section “Materials and Methods.” Cell surface hydrophobicity was estimated by MATH test.
