Effect of sucrose on DCW and CoQ10 production by PK38 with batch culture.

Sucrose (g/L)	DCW (g/L)	CoQ10 concentration (mg/L)	Specific CoQ10 content (mg/g DCW)
10	4.11 + 0.065^d	9.55 + 0.196^d	2.325 + 0.037^a
20	5.28 + 0.157^b	12.27 + 0.110^b	2.322 + 0.029^a
30	6.40 + 0.161^a	14.88 + 0.172^a	2.326 + 0.069^a
40	4.90 + 0.181^c	11.40 + 0.284^c	2.324 + 0.101^a
50	4.12 + 0.148^d	9.56 + 0.056^d	2.320 + 0.019^a

Data are shown as mean ± SD (𝑛=3). Means with the same letter are not significantly different as indicated by Duncan’s multiple range test (P < 0.05).
