Growth, substrate uptake and production kinetics of E. aerogenes (a, b), C. acetobutylicum (c, d) and the consortium (with an inoculum ratio of 1:10,000 E. aerogenes: C. acetobutylicum) (e, f) on 999 C-mmol L−1 glucose and cellobiose (N = 3 and n = 4). The results indicate that the amount of produced byproduct was decreased and higher HER values were reached during the in consortium cultivation compared to mono-culture on glucose and cellobiose.
