  1. μ: Specific growth rate.
  2. XMAX: Maximum cell mass produced.
  3. YX/GLC: Yield of biomass on glucose when the culture was in nutrient sufficient and during the feed in the case of fed-batch culture.
  4. YX/NIT: Yield of biomass on nitrate when the culture was in nutrient sufficient and during the feed in the case of fed-batch culture.
  5. QX: Biomass productivity at maximum total cell mass produced.
  6. QPROT, QLIP, QCARB: Protein, lipid or carbohydrate productivity at maximum cell mass produced.
