Conversion yields of glucose to biomass, lactic acid, and ethanol by the L-LA-producing transformants of A. brasiliensis. Conversion yields of lactic acid at 138 h of culture (orange square), ethanol at 138 h of culture (blue square), and dry biomass at 144 h of culture (gray square), are expressed in g/100 g of glucose consumed. Transformant strains are sorted on the basis of their L-LA conversion yields.
