Growth of recombinant strains of S. cerevisiae on SC-URA medium supplemented with 5 g L⁻¹ levoglucosan as the sole carbon source. Strains were pre-cultured overnight, transferred to fresh media and cultured for another 12 h. Cells were harvested and resuspended by sterile ddH₂O until the OD₆₀₀ of the suspension reached 1.0, and then a series of tenfold dilutions were spotted onto SC-URA media plates supplemented with 5 g L⁻¹ levoglucosan
