  1. Control indicates dye maintained with R101, and shift indicates dye having shifted at day 5. All measurements were achieved at the 6th day of cultivation. The data points represent the average of samples and error bars indicate standard error (n = 3). Significant differences, as determined by Student’s t test, are indicated by asterisks (* P < 0.05)
