Effect of dilution rate in the formation of biomass, MG production rate and respiratory quotient (RQ) for MG02 (mgsD ↑pmi40 ↑psa1). Chemostats were performed in 2-L fermenters containing SC medium with 20 g L⁻¹ glucose. a Biomass yield on substrate, represented as g_DCW g ⁻¹_glc , b MG productivity represented as mg_MG g ⁻¹_DCW  h⁻¹, c MG yield represented as mg_MG g ⁻¹_glc , and d RQ. For dilution 0.1 and 0.15 h⁻¹ data is the mean ± SD of two independent experiments and dilution 0.05 h⁻¹ represents one experiment
