1,2-Propanediol production. (A–D) Fermentations of 60 g/L cellobiose with substrate and product concentrations shown on the left axes and optical density (OD) on the right axes. The strain used in each panel is indicated. Residual sugars (glucose and cellobiose) at the final time point were A: 5.4 g/L; B: 24.0 g/L; C: 11.1 g/L; D: 0.1 g/L. E: pathway for 1,2-propanediol proposed by Cameron and Cooney14.
