Dataset-specific description

Turbidity of the cultures was measured by absorbance at 750 nm in a 1 cm path cuvette using a UV-Mini 1240 spectrophotometer (Shimadzu Corporation). Two spectrophotometric methods were used to measure carbohydrates, the phenol sulfuric acid (PSA) method (Dubois et al. 1956) and the 2, 4, 6-tripyridyl-s-triazine (TPTZ) method (Myklestad et al. 1997). The color produced by both methods was measured in 1 cm path length cuvette using UV-Mini 1240 spectrophotometer (Shimadzu Corporation).
