FIG. 3.
Comparison of furfural-reducing activities. (A) In vivo activity of whole cells during fermentation. LY180 and deleted derivatives are shown as white bars. The furfural-resistant mutant EMFR9 and EMFR9(pLOI4301) expressing yqhD are shown as gray-shaded bars. (B) Comparison of in vitro furfural-reducing activities in cell extracts of EMFR9 harboring plasmids expressing cloned genes (forward direction, induced with 0.1 mM IPTG).
