a

Slow growth (SG), μ = 0.025 h−1; near-zero growth (NZG), μ < 0.002 h−1.

b

Data represent averages, with their standard errors, calculated from multiple measurements obtained from duplicate experiments. Biomass-specific rates are expressed in the unit of mCmol/gxv/h and were calculated per gram of viable biomass.

c

—, not calculated.
