Overview of results from continuous fermentations using <i>Thermoanaerobacter</i> Pentocrobe 411X and 411S.

The values are an average of data collected over five residence times at steady-state. Csugar(max): Average total concentration of glucose, xylose, arabinose, and sucrose in the period of data collection. The ratio between sugars can be derived from Table 1. The time course profiles of the WS97-N2, WS80, CC02-N2, and CS02-N2 fermentations are shown in Figs 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. CEtOH: Concentration of ethanol corrected for loss of ethanol based on redox balance. QEtOH: Volumetric ethanol productivity. YEtOH(GXA): Yield of ethanol based on influent glucose, xylose, and arabinose. YEtOH(GX): Yield of ethanol based on influent glucose and xylose. DMmax: The biomass dry matter after pretreatment corresponding to the total sugar applied in the data collection period. Conv(GXA): Conversion of glucose, xylose and arabinose in based on effluent levels relative to influent levels. HRT: Hydraulic retention time.
