Results from mono and co-cultures of T. saccharolyticum and C. thermocellum. Strain names are given in an abbreviated form for ease of reading. A) Representative residual solids with increasing degrees of cellulose solubilization. #1 uninoculated, #2 T. saccharolyticum M1442, #3 co-culture between T. saccharolyticum DHC15 and C. thermocellum DS11, #4 co-culture between wild-type C. thermocellum and T. saccharolyticum M1442. B) The dry weights of residual solids from each of the mono or co-cultures. The three final bars labeled ‘No Cellulose Added’ were not supplied with cellulose and are present to show the maximum contribution made by cell mass alone. Panels C and D show HPLC data for remaining sugars and ethanol formation, respectively for the parent strain of T. saccharolyticum (Ts1442), the CipA* expressing strain of T. saccharolyticum (Ts15), the wild type C. thermocellum (Ct1313), and the C. thermocellum cipA deletion mutant (CtDS11).
