Comparison of cell growth and lipid production by M. buryatense under high cell density culture conditions

Strain	5GB1	AP18
DCW, g/L	21.4	15.3
Maximum O2 uptake rate, mmol/L/h	80.6	87.8
Maximum CH4 uptake rate, mmol/L/h	51.1	54.4
Maximum CO2 evolution rate, mmol/L/h	22.9	35.9
Specific O2 uptake ratea, mmol/gDCW/h	3.8	5.7
Specific CH4 uptake ratea, mmol/gDCW/h	2.4	3.5
Specific CO2 evolution ratea, mmol/gDCW/h	1.1	2.3

^aCalculated by using the maximum gas uptake/evolution rates and the highest DCW from cultures of different strains
