Comparative analysis of bacterial cellulose production efficiency in K. sucrofermentans strains in HS-glucose-ethanol media in a range of ethanol concentrations, in static culture—A: KS001; B: KS003; C: KS004. The top panel (VPE) represents volumetric production efficiency (g/L), the second panel (BPCG) shows bacterial cellulose production per consumed glucose (g/mol), the third panel (BPCE) denotes bacterial cellulose production per consumed ethanol (g/mol), and the bottom panel (BPCC) illustrates bacterial cellulose production per consumed carbon (g/mol). Red bars represent data at 7 days, while green bars denote data at 14 days. Error bars indicate the standard deviation. * Significance against strain KS001 for the same condition and time point (N = 2; p < 0.1). ** Significance when comparing 14 days to 7 days for a given condition (N = 2; p < 0.1)
