Inhibitory effects of acetic acid, formic acid, levulinic acid, vanillin, furfural, and 5-HMF on specific growth rate (a), and final biomass (b) of P. taiwanensis VLB120 grown on minimal medium supplemented with 4.5 g L−1 of glucose under aerobic condition. Acetic acid, red; formic acid, blue; vanillin, orange; furfural, violet; 5-HMF, black. Error bars correspond to the standard deviation of three biological replicates. CDW, cell dry weight
