Fermentation kinetics of AK17 (WT) and AK17_M6, in 50% or 100% L. digitata hydrolysate. Fermentations were carried out for 40 h with 50% hydrolysate, for both AK17 (A) and AK17_M6 (B) and samples were taken at different times between 0 h (inoculation) and 40 h (end of fermentation). Fermentations were carried out for 60 h with 100% hydrolysate, for both AK17 (C) and AK17_M6 (D) and samples were taken at different times between 0 h (inoculation) and 60 h (end of fermentation). Glucan (blue cross), glucose (orange circle), mannitol (grey cross), lactic acid (yellow diamond), acetic acid (blue triangle) and ethanol (green square). Data represent the average of three replicate experiments. Standard deviations are shown as error bars
