¹Dry weight measured at the conclusion of saccharification phase. ²All products are measured at the conclusion of saccharification phase, with the exception of fungal biomass, which was measured at the end of the growth phase, since hyphal lysis occurred during saccharification. ³Recovery percentages are based on glucan, xylan, and lignin content determined for various lignocellulosic biomass utilized in this experiment and reported in Youssef et al. (2013). ⁴Values represent cumulative amounts of acetate (79.53 ± 23.53), lactate (5.76 ± 0.07), and formate (4.14 ± 0.06) produced. ⁵Value corresponds to the free non-adsorbed extracellular proteins measured in the cell-free supernatant. ⁶Calculated using the formula: [(g glucose produced/g glucan in starting corn stover)] × 100. ⁷Calculated using the formula: [(g xylose produced/g xylan in starting corn stover)] × 100. ⁸Calculated using the formula: [g glucose + xylose produced/g cellulose and glucan in starting corn stover] × 100. ⁹Calculated using the formula: [g glucose + xylose produced/g acetate + formate + lactate produced] × 100.
