aStrain background: PPP, overexpression of genes from the pentose phosphate pathway; T, overexpression of the HXT7 transporter; XDH, xylitol dehydrogenase; XI, xylose isomerase; XK, xylulose kinase; XR, xylose reductase. bAN, anaerobic; HCD, high cell density (start OD600 of fermentation ≥1); LCD, low cell density (start OD600 of fermentation ≤0.5); MM, mineral medium; Pep, peptone; YE, yeast extract. cInitial sugar concentration of the substrate. dEthanol produced within the first 50 h of fermentation or earlier, when sugars were depleted before. eMaximal growth rate on glucose (Glc) or xylose (Xyl). n.a., not analyzed; in parenthesis, improvement calculated from the evolved strain as compared to the progenitor strain; *Data are derived from the time courses given in the respective publications.
