Fig. 1

Yeast species from the order Serinales generate different metabolic end-products based on oxygen levels. Production of ethanol, xylitol, and/or glycerol by species of Scheffersomyces and Spathaspora genera under moderate (shake flask—SF) and high (baffled flask—BF) aeration conditions. Colored squares: metabolite(s) mainly produced by each species based on yields. Gray squares: the species produced low yields or did not produce the metabolite. Complete data are in Additional file 1
