  1. aYields of metabolites were calculated from three individual experiments and the standard deviation was less than 10 %
  2. bRefer to Table 1 for the genotype of the strains
  3. cData for SH8* were obtained from the previous study and presented for comparison [18]
  4. dYields of metabolites in parentheses were obtained with gluconate as carbon source
