Dry cell weight and lycopene yield of strain EBI with different initial concentrations of glycerol. a Cell dry weight of EBI in 2× YT medium with the addition of 0–100 g L⁻¹ of glycerol after growth at 30 °C for 48 h. b Lycopene production of EBI in 2× YT medium with the addition of 0–100 g L⁻¹ of glycerol after growth at 30 °C for 48 h. The data represent the means of three independent experiments. Error bars represent standard deviations
