  1. * Kinetic parameters: μ (h-1)=specific growth rate, Qp=U/ml/h, Yp/s=U/ml/g substrate consumed, Yp/x=U/ml/g fungal biomass formed, qp=U/g fungal biomass/h, Yx/s=g fungal biomass/g substrate utilized, Qs=g substrate consumed/l/h, qs=g substrate consumed/g fungal biomass/h, Qx=g fungal biomass formed/L/h. HS denotes ‘highly significant’ while S stands for ‘significant’ values. LSD represents ‘least significant difference’. <p> is for probability. ± Indicates standard deviation among three parallel replicates. The values designated by different letters in each row differ significantly at p≤0.05.
