Growth rate (µ), maximum differential biomass-specific substrate uptake rates (q ^max_S) and the apparent biomass substrate yields (Y _X/S*) in respective shaking flask experiments with 1 h and 1.5 h HT PW containing either 5 g yeast extract (YE) L⁻¹ or 1 mM reduced glutathione (GSH) as well as 5 g acetol L⁻¹ with 5 g YE L⁻¹. Error bars depict the SD of ≥ 3 independent experiments
