Comparison of results from batch fermentation test in shake flasks and bench scale bioreactor for kinetic data collection. The synthetic solution comprises: 0.5 g/L AA, 0.5 g/L glucose, 10 g/L LA and 0.1% w/v NaCl. Temporal profile of glucose, AA and cells’ growth (left y-axis) and LA concentration (right y-axis); a Batch fermentation in flask-scale; b Batch fermentation in 3 L bench-scale bioreactor
