TABLE 5.

Growth characteristics of ethanologenic E. coli strain SE2378 with a mutation in the pdh locus

Strain	Genotype	Specific growth rate (h⁻¹) on medium^a:
		Aerobic		Anaerobic
		LB	Minimal	LB	Minimal
W3110	Wild type	1.31	1.05	0.98	0.51
YK153	W3110; aceF	0.46	NG (0.55)	1.07	0.44
YK152	pflB ldhA aceF	0.83	NG (0.54)	NG	NG
YK157	YK152; aceF⁺ (W3110)	1.32	0.96	NG	NG
YK158	YK152; aceF⁺ (SE2378)	1.17	0.51	0.45	NG^b

Minimal, glucose-minimal medium. Values in parentheses represent the specific growth rate in glucose-minimal medium with acetate (1 mg ml⁻¹) under aerobic conditions. NG, no growth.

The ethanologenic derivative YK158 requires acetate and glutamate for optimal anaerobic growth in glucose minimal medium as for strain SE2378 (Table 2). See Table 2 for other details.
