Micro-aerobic co-fermentation performance of XUSEA with a high level of mixed sugars (76 g L−1 glucose and 46 g L−1 xylose) at high cell density (initial OD600 of 20). a sugar consumption and ethanol production: (filled rhombus) glucose, (filled square) xylose, (filled triangle) ethanol. b overall xylose consumption rate and c overall ethanol productivity of XUSE, XUSEA at a low (L) and a high (H) level of mixed sugars. Xylose consumption and ethanol production rates of XUSE are obtained with a low level of mixed sugars (40 g L−1 glucose and 20 g L−1 xylose). Error bars represent the standard deviation of biological triplicates
