Growth and sugar utilization in aerobic batch cultures of TSY01 expressing L-arabinose transporters. Cells expressing ScGal2 (black circle), SsAraT (black square), AtStp2 (open square) or containing the empty vector (black diamond) were incubated in synthetic complete medium with 20 g/L L-arabinose (A/B), 5 g/L L-arabinose (C/D) or 20 g/L D-glucose (E/F) as carbon sources. Growth was determined by measuring the optical density at 600 nm and sugar concentrations were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. The results shown are average values for two to three independent cultures.
