Adipic acid tolerance screening for potential adipic acid production hosts

Table 5 Reduction in µ_max during first growth phase of yeasts with 650 mM adipic acid

Species	Strain	pH 5 (%)	pH 6 (%)
S. cerevisiae	CEN.PK 113-7D	45 ± 4	24 ± 2
S. cerevisiae	Ethanol Red	n.d.^a	30 ± 4
Z. bailii	CBS 7555	59 ± 3	29 ± 2
C. viswanathii	NCYC 977	11 ± 8	14 ± 4

The reduction in µ_max is corrected for osmotic pressure and compared to control with no adipic acid. Values given are the mean ± standard deviation of five replicates except for Ethanol Red where ten replicates were used
^aNo respiro-fermentative growth could be detected at 650 mM adipic acid at pH 5
