Results of the ANOVAs: F values and Mean values for respiration parameters.

Significance of the ANOVA (strain effect) is indicated as follow: * significant at 5%; ** significant at 1%; *** significant at 0.1% (Benjamini-Hochberg correction for multiple testing). df stands for degree of freedom. When ANOVA is significant, Duncan’s class for each strain is noted in bracket. The units are as follow: K in cells mL–1, r in division h–1, lag-phase time in h, the respiratory rates JO2, JO2max, basal JO2, JO2ATP in nmol of O2 consumption per minute per 10e6 cells, JO2ATP/JO2 in % JO2 due to ATPase, cytochromes c+c1, b and a+a3 in pmol/mg dry weight.
