Fig. 4From: Screening and evolution of a novel protist xylose isomerase from the termite Reticulitermes speratus for efficient xylose fermentation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Aerobic growth of recombinant S. cerevisiae strains expressing different XIs on xylose. Yeast strains were cultivated aerobically at 30 °C in L-shaped test tubes in the xylose minimal medium containing 50 g/l xylose as the sole carbon source (see "Methods"). The data points shown are averages of three independent experiments. Deviations were always below 10% of the averageBack to article page
