Notes.
Reactors were run with successive changes of medium following the order in the Table, with one exception: Reactor 1 was run with the Instant Ocean (IO) medium but without supplements first, and then supplements were reintroduced.
Supports taken for RNA extraction in reactors 2 and 3.
ND, not done.
