Fig. 6From: Coculture with hemicellulose-fermenting microbes reverses inhibition of corn fiber solubilization by Clostridium thermocellum at elevated solids loadingsEffect of various carbohydrates on C. thermocellum growth on Avicel. C. thermocellum was grown on 10 g/L Avicel with the addition of 10 g/L of various carbohydrates. Rate was calculated by differentiating a Boltzmann Sigmoidal fit curve on the Avicel utilization time-course data. R2 values of > 0.98 were observed in all cases. Error bars show the standard deviation (n ≥ 2). For the control n = 6. XOS Xylooligosaccharides, AX arabinoxylanBack to article page
