Relationship between cellulose saccharification ability and glucose production under various cellulose loads. Biological saccharification was carried out in BM7CO medium containing various concentrations of cellulose: 10 g/L (62 mM glucose equivalent), 30 g/L (185 mM glucose equivalent), 50 g/L (309 mM glucose equivalent), 100 g/L (617 mM glucose equivalent), or 150 g/L (926 mM glucose equivalent). The cellulose saccharification rate was calculated based on the amount of glucose released relative to the dry weight of the input cellulose, respectively. Error bars represent ± SD (n = 3).
