Deletion of pgi gene in E. coli increases tolerance to furfural and 5-hydroxymethyl furfural in media containing glucose–xylose mixture

Table 2 Influence of glucose concentration on ethanol productivity in bioreactor

Strain	Time interval (h) for maximum productivity	Maximum ethanol productivity (g/(L.h))
6 g/L glucose
SSK42	24–48	0.44
SSK101	48–72	0.52
SSK101 + inhibitors	96–120	0.46
12 g/L glucose
SSK42	72–96	0.40
SSK101	72–96	0.47
SSK101 + inhibitors	144–168	0.33

Data for SSK42 with inhibitors (1 g/L Furfural + 1 g/L HMF) has not been given as no significant growth was observed here in either glucose concentration
