Time-course growth and metabolic profiles of agitated cultures in HS-ethanol medium for five K. sucrofermentans strains—A: KS001; B: KS002; C: KS003; D: KS004; E: KS005. For each strain, the left panel shows OD600 nm monitoring; the middle panel depicts ethanol concentration (g/L); the Right panel represents acetic acid concentration (g/L). In all panels, Replicate 1 (orange lines with dot markers) and Replicate 2 (blue lines with cross markers) are shown
