Fig. 1 — Evolutionary adaptation to growth on xylulose. a Twelve diverse wild type yeast strains were grown in parallel on xylulose as the carbon source and propagated for ~300 generations by serial dilution. b Growth curve (OD_600nm) of each strain grown on xylulose, before (blue) and after (red) evolution. Arrows indicate the evolutionary effect on cell density (purple) and growth rate (green). c Effective growth rate of wild type vs. evolved strains. Color code represents the level of improvement in effective growth rate during evolution defined as the ratio between respective effective growth rates
