Figure 4From: Reconstruction of xylose utilization pathway and regulons in FirmicutesEffect of xylA-II or xylB disruption on cell growth and xylose utilization of C. acetobutylicum. Cells were grown in the medium containing 20 g l-1 of D-xylose as the sole carbon source. The optical density at 600 nm (A) and xylose concentration in the medium (B) were monitored. Data shown are means ± standard deviations calculated from triplicate individual experiments.Back to article page
