Figure 6From: Simultaneous utilization of glucose, xylose and arabinose in the presence of acetate by a consortium of Escherichia coli strainsFour strain growth in a controlled bioreactor containing a four-component mixture (acetate, glucose, xylose and arabinose). The culture was inoculated simultaneously with E. coli ALS1370, ALS1371, ALS1391 and ALS1392. Growth was measured as OD (black circle) in a medium containing acetate (red diamond) and three sugars: xylose (blue triangle), arabinose (pink inverted triangle) and glucose (green circle).Back to article page
