Reduced diauxic lag in defined medium with mixed sugars. Fermentation performances are compared in ODM with 66 g/L glucose and 87 g/L xylose for parent strain S. stipitis NRRL Y-7124 (A), the AFEX CSH adapted population derived from Y-7124 (B), single-cell colony 1 isolated from the adapted S. stipitis population (C), single-cell colony 5 isolated from the adapted population (D). Symbols designate biomass (red square), glucose (black circle with dashed line), xylose (blue circle with solid line), ethanol (green triangle), xylitol (purple diamond), and adonitol (gold diamond with black edge).
