l-Lysine was fed using three different strategies. (1) First, 150 g/L lysine and 180 g/L α-ketoglutaric acid were added at the start of the reaction. (2) l-Lysine was initially added at 60 g/L and α-ketoglutaric acid at 72 g/L. When the concentration of l-lysine dropped to 30 g/L, 60 g/L l-lysine and 72 g/L α-ketoglutaric acid were added to the reaction mixture. (3) A feeding rate of 2 g/(L·h) l-lysine and 2.4 g/(L·h) α-ketoglutaric acid was maintained throughout the reaction
