Fermentation-growth factor of transgenics compared to wild type for C. bescii fermentation. Fermentation-growth factor is the product of estimated stem volume (from [28] and fermentation product titer from C. bescii treatment). The wild-type control was set to 1.0 to normalize data. The four best performing lines (i20-5, i20-10, i69-4, and i69-13) all targeted the C3H3 gene. *Stem volume data not available for a12-10 and i15-3 such that fermentation-growth factor could not be calculated
