  1. Shown are the results for the (growth-decoupled) production stages 2 and 3. The switch from aerobic to anaerobic conditions was initiated when approximately 60% of the glucose had been consumed (see text). Negative rates and yields for acetoin and pyruvate indicate uptake of the respective compound. The values were calculated from triplicate experiments and the error ranges represent standard deviations.
