Effects of the two-phase culture system on FFA production. WT (circles) and dAS1T (triangles) cells were grown either with (+, open symbols) or without (−, filled symbols) IM. Data shown are the mean ± SE from the same biological triplicates as in Fig. 2B. A Time course of the accumulation of FFA in the aqueous phase (a) and the IM layer (b). The FFA concentration in IM was measured as described in the “Methods” section and converted into the amount of FFA produced per 1 L of culture by calculation. B Time course of cellular FFA content. C The yield of FFA per dry cell weight (DCW) at t = 240 h
