High cell density cultivation of Escherichia coli K4 in a microfiltration bioreactor: a step towards improvement of chondroitin precursor production

Table 1 E. coli K4 shake flask experiments on acetate

Initial acetate concentration (g·L^-1)	1.5	5	10	20
Final acetate concentration (g·L^-1)	0.031	0.38	0.98	5.25
Biomass (g_cdw·L^-1)	0.92	1.57	1.98	1.99
μ max (h^-1)	0.84	0.69	0.64	0.51

E. coli K4 shake flask growth on 1.5, 5, 10, 20 g·L^-1 acetate media without glycerol: initial and final acetate concentration, max biomass and max μ values. All the standard deviations were less than 6%.
