Simultaneous achievement of high ethanol yield and titer in Clostridium thermocellum

Table 2 Carbon balance from fermentation of 60 g/L cellulose (345 mM glucose equivalents)

^aTo facilitate comparison, carbon-containing compounds were expressed in terms of C3 equivalents. For example, one C3 equivalent (i.e., pyruvate) is required to produce one ethanol
^bEx amino acid carbon; amount of carbon in extracellular free amino acids
^cEx protein carbon; amount of carbon in extracellular (secreted) protein
^dEx sugar; extracellular sugar, including all the soluble glucan and xylan
