Values are mean ± SD (n= 2). ANOVA analyses were performed for each yeast grown on YP + G or CH + B, including a comparison of means for all pairs using Tukey–Kramer HSD. Amino acids levels that differ significantly (α = 0.05) from levels in fish meal or soybean meal are marked by * and º, respectively. EAAs, essential amino acids; NEAAs, non-essential amino acids

aAll values are in g/kg of dry matter

bTime point (h) during batch fermentations where the yeast protein concentration (g/L) was at or close to its maximum

cThe content of amino acids in fish meal (except tryptophan) was taken from Ref. [38]; the value for tryptophan comes from Ref. [39]

dThe content of amino acids in soybean meal was taken from Ref. [40]
