Figure 4

Fermentation of lignocellulose hydrolysate by strains TMB 3057 (P. stipitis XR and XDH on plasmid) (A), TMB 3066 (Piromyces XI on plasmid) (B) and TMB 3400 (industrial strain with chromosomally integrated XR and XDH) (C). The initial cell concentration was 5–10 g/l for all the fermentation experiments shown. For clarity, the hydrolysate components and their consumption are shown on the left, and the accumulation of the products is shown on the right. Symbols: ○ mannose; □glucose; Δ galactose; ◆ xylose; *xylitol; ■ glycerol; ▲ethanol; × acetate.
