Figure 2From: Simultaneously improving xylose fermentation and tolerance to lignocellulosic inhibitors through evolutionary engineering of recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiaeharbouring xylose isomeraseBatch culture profiles after hardening with xylose as carbon source. Batch culture profiles for the recombinant xylose-utilising S. cerevisiae strains D5A+ (parental strain, A and B), TMB3400 (C and D) and D5A+H (hardened strain, E and F) in a growth medium supplemented with 50% (v/v) pretreatment liquor from steam-pretreated triticale and 20Â g xylose/L in shake flask cultures. Figure symbols left-hand column: biomass (circles), ethanol (diamonds), xylose (triangles). Figure symbols right-hand column: acetic acid (squares), formic acid (circles), HMF (diamonds) and furfural (crosses). Error bars represent standard deviations from duplicate experiments.Back to article page
