“…Assays were carried out in batch culture at 37 °C in a rotary shaker at 200 rpm using. The M9 mineral medium composition in 1 L: 9.97 g Na 2 HPO 4 , 3 g KH 2 PO 4 , 1 g NH 4 Cl, 0.5 g NaCl, 2 mL MgSO 4 1 M, 0.1 mL CaCl 2 1 M, 3 mL trace element solution (2.3 g/L FeCl 3 –6H 2 O, 0.039 g/L CuSO 4 –5H 2 O, 0.049 g/L ZnSO 4 –7H 2 O, 0.32 g/L MnCl 2 –7H 2 O, 0.129 g/L CoCl 2 –6H 2 O, 0.037 g/L (NH 3 ) 6 Mo 7 O 24 –4H 2 O and 0.25 g/L H 3 BO 3 ) with 11.5 g/L (125 mM) of glycerol and culture conditions were described in (Soto-Varela et al, 2021 ) with an initial biomass concentration of 0.031 g CDW/L. For metabolomic analysis, the fermentation was performed using M9 medium supplemented with 2 g/L NaHCO 3 for 72 h and samples were taken at 0, 10, 24, 31, 48, 55 and 72 h, in M4, M4- Δgnd and M4- ΔiclR strains.…”
