Volumetric consumption and production rates Q [g/L × h] of S. podzolica from automated continuous feed process. Q was calculated as derivation of logistic curve fits of carbon source, cell mass, lipid and gluconic or xylonic acid, respectively, on glucose and xylose against time. a Qs volumetric substrate consumption rate. b Qx volumetric cell mass production rate. c QpL volumetric lipid production rate. d QpOA volumetric organic acid production rate, in detail QpGA: volumetric gluconic acid production rate, QpXA: volumetric xylonic acid production rate
