	X (g/L)	T (h)	P (g/L)	Y_P/S	Y_P/X	R (g/Lh)
EMF	11.94±1.02^a	30	11.05±1.17^a	0.14	0.93	0.37±0.04^a

Legend: X = maximum biomass; T = time of maximum EPS production; P = EPS production; Y_P/S = yield (product/substrate); Y_P/X = yield (product/biomass); R= productivity at time of maximum EPS production. Data are the means of three independent experiments ± SD. Values in same column followed by the same superscript letters are not significantly different (P<0.01) by the Tukey test.
