Figure 4

Growth curves for wild-type and mutant Clostridium cellulolyticum strains grown in defined VM medium with cellobiose (5 g/l). The specific growth rates for cells in exponential growth phases were 0.20 ± 0.006/h (wild-type), 0.19 ± 0.004/h (Ccel_0137 (mdh) mutant), 0.15 ± 0.006/h (Ccel_2485 (ldh) mutant), and 0.11 ± 0.002/h (ldh mdh mutant). The mean and standard deviation are shown for three cultures at each time point.
