Fig. 3.

Fermentation profiles of studied strains under salt or non-salt conditions. The plots show growth curve, glucose consumption and ethanol production under the saline (0.225 M NaCl) condition (left panel) or the non-salt condition (right). The error bars represent standard deviations of 3 independent measurements. The strains KFS1 and KFS2 exhibited improved growth and fermentation capacity under the saline condition, while these strains grew mildly slower than the parental strain did under the non-salt condition
