TABLE 4.

Concentrations of metabolites for V5, V5 ald6, and V5 ald6 ald4 after fermentation on MS medium^a

Metabolite	Metabolite concn (g/liter)
	V5	V5 ald6	V5 ald6 ald4
Pyruvate	0.12	0.07	0.07
Acetaldehyde	31b	41b	77b
Acetate	0.87	0.36	0.28
Glycerol	6.6	7.8	9.5
Succinate	0.58	0.60	0.70
2,3-Butanediol	0.76	1.1	1.8

^aFermentations were performed in 1-liter fermentors at 28°C with agitation. The concentrations of metabolites were determined after complete glucose exhaustion. 

^bMilligrams per liter.
