Data underlying the publication: Specific growth rates and growth stoichiometries of Saccharomycotina yeasts on ethanol as sole carbon and energy substrate, chapter 2 of the PhD thesis

Emerging low-emission production technologies make ethanol an interesting substrate for yeast biotechnology, but information on growth rates and biomass yields of yeasts on ethanol is scarce. Strains of 52 Saccharomycotina yeasts were screened for growth on ethanol. Data includes growth curves from automated, image-analysis-based growth profiler set-up (Green Values), specific growth rates obtained from characterization in shake flasks (OD and HPLC measurements), and chemostat cultivations in bioreactors (Carbon balances and online logging exports).<br>Data used for publication of 10.1093/femsyr/foae037, which is essentially Chapter 2 of the PhD thesis titled Exploring physiological diversity of yeasts for ethanol-fueled industrial biotechnology.
