Growth of the wild-type, JWCB005 ( ΔpyrFA ), JWCB018 ( ΔpyrFA ΔcbeI ), and JWCB029 ( ΔpyrFA ΔcbeI ΔcelA ) strains on various carbon sources. (A, B) growth of the wild-type (closed circles), JWCB005 (open squares), JWCB018 (open circles), and JWCB029 (open triangles) strains on cellobiose. (C-F) Growth of the JWCB018 (solid bars), and JWCB029 (open bars) strains on (C) Populus trichocarpa (poplar), (D) Panicum virgatum L. (switchgrass), (E) Arabidopsis thaliana, and (F) Avicel. (G) Growth as a percentage reduction in cell numbers of the CelA deletion strain, JWCB029, compared to the background strain JWCB018.
