Physiological data of O. polymorpha strains (left hand side) and K. marxianus strains (right hand side) from batch experiments on glucose at different temperatures. Depending on the strain, the cultivation temperature was varied between 30 °C and 49 °C in independent experiments. To better illustrate the adaptive responses, the extracellular rates were accentuated with a line corresponding to a fitted spline curve generated from the measured data. The data of O. polymorpha CLIB 421 at 40 °C are taken from Lehnen et al. [26]. μ – specific growth rate
