Extent of cellulose utilization by Clostridium sp. DBT-IOC-C19 on different avicel concentrations. Time course of crystalline cellulose utilization at various concentrations within 144 h of batch culture of strain DBT-IOC-C19, residual cellulose concentration was determined by dry weight basis. Each data value represents average with error bars (±) showing standard deviations calculated from triplicate fermentations. The percentage of cellulose conversion at different cellulose concentrations are different with a statistical significance [ANOVA Tukey’s test, ***p < 0.001]. The concentrations that are not significantly different from each other in treatment condition described are labeled with same lowercase letters in the figure legends
