  1. aMaximum specific growth rate (1/h).
  2. bYield of biomass from glucose (g biomass/g glucose).
  3. cYield of Cry from biomass (g Cry/g biomass). This value was calculated with the biomass and Cry protein concentration reported.
  4. dThis value was calculated considering that the weight of one B. thuringiensis cell is 2.3 pg (Rodriguez and de la Torre, 1996).
  5. ePHB percentage of dry cell weight.
  6. fUnpublished data.
  7. gYield of active biomass from limiting substrate.
  8. hThis value was calculated with the glucose concentration in the media and the yield of biomass from glucose reported by the author.
