  1. aThe data of X 0 and X max were calculated from the numerical solution of the logistic model applied to the average of three experimental runs
  2. bThe detected amount of enzyme units is shown as mean (SD) with n = 3
  3. cThe specific yield, or specific productivity, in terms of biomass (Y p/x) was calculated as described in the “Methods” section
