  1. The productivity was calculated according to the produced γ-PGA production as follows
  2. Cycle 1: 40.06 ÷ 24 = 1.67; Cycle 2: (44.77 − 4.00) ÷ 24 = 1.70; Cycle 3: (45.42 − 4.40) ÷ 24 = 1.71; Cycle 4: (44.10 − 4.54) ÷ 20 = 1.98
  3. Cycle 5: (44.90 − 4.53) ÷ 20 = 2.02; Cycle 6: (44.98 − 4.53) ÷ 20 = 2.02
