FIGURE 2.

Anaerobic growth of MG1655, KBM1081, KBM1082, and KBM1084. Cells were grown anaerobically in defined medium with 4 g/l glucose. Shown are exemplary time course data for the OD₄₂₀ from batch cultures incubated under N₂ atmosphere. The growth assays were performed in at least three independent experiments. Variation of these repeats and further data concerning substrate consumption and production of fermentation products can be seen from Table 2.
