The relationship analysis of G. oxydans–K. vulgare consortium. a A commensalistic G. oxydans–K. vulgare consortium for production of 2-KGA within stage 1; b a competitive G. oxydans–K. vulgare consortium for production of 2-KGA within stage 2; c the division of two stages in accordance with the d-sorbitol consumption by G. oxydans. d only the co-culture produces 2-KGA; e chromatograms from HPLC analysis of d-sorbitol assimilation catalyzed by G. oxydans, the peak in the red box in shows the unknown byproduct produced by G. oxydans accompany with the sorbose assimilation
