Table 3. Kinetics of growth of strains JAM1 and NL23 under anoxic conditions.

	Strain JAM1a	Strain NL23
Lag (h)	<6	48–72
µmax (OD600nm h−1)	0.0110 (0.0007)	0.0066 (0.0005)
Ks (mM)	12.6 (2.1)	15.3 (3.2)
µmax/Ks (µM−1h−1)	0.88	0.43

Notes.

µmax

maximum growth rates

Ks

half-saturation constants of NO₃⁻ for growth

Values are derived from non-regression linear measurements (Fig. 1), with standard error between parentheses.
