Percent of dry biomass as E. coli in co-cultures based on qPCR and the percent increase of algae productivity in the co-culture versus the equivalent axenic culture (Table 1).

Productivities are five-day averages. Three biological replicates were used in all cases except for co-cultures grown on 10 g/L glycerol where only two replicates were used. Mean value is followed by standard deviation in parenthesis. Within substrate batches values followed by the same letter are not significantly different at the 0.05 level.
