Ethanol production by B. subtilis strains harboring different numbers of pdcZ and adhS as well as fusions of the genes. Strains NZS (Δldh, pdcZ-adhS), N(ZS)2 (Δldh, (pdcZ-adhS)2), NZS2 (Δldh, pdcZ-(adhS)2), NZ:S (Δldh, pdcZ:adhS), and NS:Z (Δldh, adhS:pdcZ) containing, respectively, one copy of each gene, two copies of each gene, one pdcZ but two adhS, adhS fused to pdcZ, and pdcZ fused to adhS, were cultured with an initial optical density of 0.1 (600 nm) in 2YT mediums supplemented with 60 g/L glucose and incubated at 37 °C, 180 rpm. Samples taken at 24-h intervals were analyzed for: (a) ethanol production, (b) cell growth, and (c) glucose consumption.
