Fermentation profiles of SR7e3 and SR8 (SR7e3 ald6Δ) in various sugar conditions1).

1Fermentations were performed under oxygen-limited conditions (100 rpm) in YP medium (pH 6.6), and an initial cell density was 0.3 g/l (OD600 1). All parameters were calculated when more than 90% of xylose was consumed at each condition.Parameters: µ, specific growth rate (1/h); rXylose, xylose consumption rate (g/l/h); rXylose*, specific xylose consumption rate (g/g cell/h); YEthanol, ethanol yield (g/g sugars); PEthanol, volumetric ethanol productivity (g/l/h); PEthanol*, specific ethanol productivity (g/g cell/h).
