Figure 1. Physiological characterization of wild type and thermotolerant yeasts strains in aerobic cultivations at 30 °C (blue diamonds) and 40 °C (red diamonds) using bioreactors.

(A) Specific rates of growth and glucose uptake. (B) Specific rates of glycerol and ethanol accumulation. (C) Specific rates of acetate accumulation and biomass yields. (D) Specific rates of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production. Averages and standard deviations were calculated from three independent experiments.
