• Values between in brackets are real values for the independent variables. • Real values for the independent variables feather and yeast extract are taken in terms of %w/v. • Real values for the independent variable inoculum size are taken in terms of %v/v providing that one ml of culture contained 5.0 × 106 CFU/mL. • a: experimental values b: predicted values.
