Figure 1. Phenotypic screening of wild and domesticated S. cerevisiae strains identifies NRRL YB-210 with tolerance to hydrolysates made from a variety of pretreated lignocellulose.

Figure 1

In (A), 117 S. cerevisiae strains (including some in duplicate) were cultured in 96-well plates and monitored for changes cell density and growth rates calculated as described in Materials and Methods. All strains in each condition were then ranked from 1 (highest growth rate in yellow) to 117 (lowest growth rate, or no growth, in blue) and hierarchically clustered. Arrows indicate clustered rows for BY4741 (green), CEN.PK2 (black) in duplicate microtiter wells, and NRRL YB-210/GLBRCY0 (red). Representative growth data for the YB-210/GLBRCY0 strain in the indicated media from Fig. 2A are plotted (B–C).
