  1. Yx/s (g biomass/g) = dX/dS, Ys/x (g/g biomass) = dS/dX, Yp/x (g/g biomass) = dP/dX, Yp/s (g/g) = dP/dS. qp (g/g/h) = *1(µ × Yp/s), *2(µ × Yp/x), qx(g/g/h) = µ × Yx/s, qs(g/g/h) = µ × Ys/x. QP (g/l/h) = Slope of product formation, Qx (g biomass/l/h) = Slope of biomass development vs. incubation period and Qs (g/l/h) = Slope of glucose consumption vs. incubation period
  2. µ h-1 = specific growth rate, calculated by plots of ln(X) vs. incubation period
  3. ±Indicate standard deviation (sd set at 5%) amongst the values of three parallel replicates. The sum mean values differ significantly at p ≤ 0.05 from each other in one-set, under one-way ANOVA
