Fig. 3From: Isolation of a genetically accessible thermophilic xylan degrading bacterium from compostXylan fermentations by G. thermodenitrificans T12. Lactic acid production (a, c) and acetic acid production (b, d) of strain T12 on MMy (a, b) and MMy+ (c, d) media with xylan (light-grey bars) and without xylan (dark-grey bars). The cultures were grown in 50 mL Greiner tubes at pH 6.5 and 150 rpm. Ratios on the X-axis represent the ratio of medium and headspace during fermentation. Growth (â–´) is expressed as increase of cells on xylan compared to cultures without xylanBack to article page
