Quantitative data of Rhodosporidium toruloides DSM 4444 originated from kinetics in media with six different initial NaCl concentrations with the same initial glucose concentration (50 g/L)

Representation consumed glucose (Glc_cons, g/L), produced biomass (X, g/L), lipid content (L, g/L), and lipid in dry weight (Y_L/X, % w/w) when the maximum quantity of lipid (in g/L) was achieved. The maximum‐specific growth (μ_max, h⁻¹), was calculated for every of the trials performed by fitting the equation $ln(\frac{X}{X_0})=f(t)$ within the early exponential growth phase of the respective culture. Culture conditions: growth in 250‐mL flasks at 185 rpm, initial pH = 6.0 ± 0.1, DO > 20% v/v, incubation temperature T = 26°C. Two lots of independent cultures were conducted by using different inocula. In all of the determinations, standard error calculated was less than 15%.
