FIG. 3.
Variations in the CO2 production rate by wild-type V5 (•) and mutant UV9 (○) and V5/ure2::kan (▾) strains in MS300 culture medium at 28°C in the absence (A and B) or in the presence (C and D) of 6 mg of dissolved oxygen liter−1. The arrows indicate the time of dissolved oxygen addition for each strain. The CO2 production rate patterns are represented as a function of fermentation progress (panels A and C) or of fermentation time (panels B and D). Final cell populations were 236 × 106, 286 × 106, and 293 × 106 cells ml−1 in the absence of oxygen and 235 × 106, 340 × 106, and 367 × 106 cells ml−1 in the presence of oxygen for V5, UV9, and V5/ure2::kan strains, respectively.
