Acetate, butyrate, and lactate production per unit cell after overexpressing the related genes. a, b acetate and butyrate production. CK: EB228ΔyciA,pAC2; Gene name indicating strain with overexpressed corresponding gene. For instance, fadM indicating EB228ΔyciA,pAC2-fadM. c lactate production. CK: EB228ΔmgsA,pAC2; Gene name indicating strain with overexpressed corresponding gene. For instance, lldD indicating EB228ΔmgsA,pAC2-lldD. The data represent the means ± s.d. from three biological replicates. *Statistically significant difference with P < 0.05 and **Statistically significant difference with P < 0.01
