Table 1 Effect of some representative corn steep liquor (CSL) concentrations on the kinetics of crude protein production parameters in a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR)* by mixed culture on mixed substrate medium containing 80 g sugars/L (pH 6.0) fortified with different concentrations of CSL in 5-L fermentor. Samples were collected periodically and data collected as described in Materials and methods. Values are means ± standard deviation of n  = 3 experiments. Values with the same lower case letters are significantly different at P < 0.05. Q _CP Volumetric rate of crude protein formation, Y _CP/S substrate consumption yield coefficient with respect to growth, Y _CP/X substrate consumption yield coefficient with respect to crude protein synthesis, q _CP specific rate of protein formation
