Heat maps depicting the influence of glucose concentration and yield on configurations and costs. a VVM = 1 min−1; b VVM = 0.1 min−1; c VVM = 0.01 min−1. The color scales are plotted logarithmically. The white solid contour curves denote the boundaries where the optimal process configurations change. The red dashed curves denote break-even combinations of glucose concentration and yield. Gray-shaded areas represent infeasible regions where VVM < VVMMIN. Note that 50% yield is likely a reasonable target in the foreseeable future
