Results from batch fermentation tests of 72 h in shake flasks with different concentrations of LA and NaCl. a Growth of E.coli cells in the presence of different LA concentrations; b OD600 of E.coli cells in the presence of 10 g/L LA and for different concentrations of LA; c AA concentration in the fermentation broth compared to broth’s pH profile different NaCl concentrations; d AA concentration in the fermentation broth compared to broth’s pH profile in the presence of 10 g/L LA and different NaCl concentrations
