Metabolic profiles of K. sucrofermentans strains in HS-glucose-ethanol media. Each panel shows the residual concentration of (from top to bottom) glucose, gluconic acid, ethanol, and acetic acid (all in g/L) for strains KS001 A, KS003 B, and KS004 C. Red and green bars indicate measurements at 7 and 14 days, respectively; error bars represent standard deviation; the horizontal blue dashed line represents the initial glucose concentration (g/L). * Significant differences from strain KS001 under identical conditions (N = 2; p < 0.1). ** Significant differences between the time points for each strain (N = 2; p < 0.1)
