Linear correlation between specific anaerobic growth rate of recombinant S. cerevisiae on xylose and specific ethanol formation rate. This is an updated form of a graph presented previously by Almeida, J.R. and coworkers [22]. Strains expressing a XI-route or a XDH/XR- route are shown as full squares or full circles. Strains used in this study are shown as empty circles. Data for glucose fermentation (empty triangles) were from Reference [14]. Following strains were used to construct the graph (starting with the lowest μ): BP10001 (this study), TMB3001-C1 [8], TMB3415 [14], IBB10A02 (this study), RWB202-AFX [9], TMB3421 [15], IBB10B05 (this study), TMB3422 [15], H131-A3^SB-3[17], TMB3420 [15], RWB17 [13], H131-A3^CS[17], RWB18 [16], H131-A3-AL^CS[17].
