Growth profile and substrate utilization of the wild type JM101 strain and its derivative PB12 on mixtures of two carbon sources. Fermentor cultures of the two strains grown aerobically in M9 medium containing mixtures of glucose (2 g/L equivalent to 65 mmolC/L) and other carbohydrate (2 g/L, equivalent to approximately 65 mmolC/L). Growth was monitored and the concentrations of glucose and of the other carbohydrates were assayed. The production of acetate was also measured. Mean values from two independent cultures are shown. Differences between values in these experiments were <10%.
