Ethanol production at 72 h from strains with large regions deleted, ΔB, ΔE, ΔX, and ΔBEX. Production of ethanol from the fermentation of 5 g/liter birchwood xylan. Ethanol, the main fermentation product of the parent strain M0355, was used as a metric for growth because insoluble xylan prevents optical density from being used to monitor growth. Values are the averages of duplicate runs, with error bars indicating the standard errors of the mean.
