a Glucose cultures with acetate supplementation of 0, 6, 12, and 16 g/L. b Xylose cultures with acetate supplementation of 0, 6, 12, and 15 g/L. c Improved accumulation of cell biomass, lipid, and ergosterol as a result of xylose and acetate co-utilization (Cell biomass: ***P < 0.001 5 vs 10 g/L acetate with glucose, ***P < 0.001 10 vs 5 g/L acetate with glucose, **P = 0.005 5 vs 0 g/L acetate with xylose, ***P = 0.001 10 vs 0 g/L acetate with xylose; Lipid content: ***P = 0.001 xylose vs glucose culture, ***P < 0.001 5 vs 0 g/L acetate with xylose, *P = 0.047 10 vs 5 g/L acetate with xylose; Ergosterol content: *P = 0.024 5 vs 0 g/L acetate with xylose, ***P = 0.003 10 vs 0 g/L acetate with xylose). Data are presented as mean value and standard deviations of three independent biological replicates. Statistical significance of the differences was evaluated by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple-comparison test. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
