Biomass composition of recombinant K. phaffii over a wide range of µ. Samples were taken from separate chemostat cultures operated at D = μ = 0.1 h−1, retentostat cultures in the chemostat phase (D = µ = 0.025 h−1; day 0), and throughout the retentostat phase (μ < 0.025 h−1). A Macromolecular biomass composition; and B percentage of storage carbohydrate content and other carbohydrates. C Amino acid content measured in hydrolysates of whole cells. GlX represents the sum of Glu and Gln and AsX the sum of Asp and Asn. Tyrosine was not measured. D Lipid class content, including ceramide (CER), diacylglycerol (DAG), lyso-phosphatidylcholine (LPC), phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylserine (PS), sterol ester (SE), sterol (ST), triacylglycerol (TAG). All biomass composition data for the main sampling points is also provided in Additional file 2
