Fig. 4From: Improving furfural tolerance in a xylose-fermenting yeast Spathaspora passalidarum CMUWF1–2 via adaptive laboratory evolutionGrowth of S. passalidarum CMUWF1−2 and AF2.5 on YPD agar supplemented with different concentrations of FF. Both strains were spotted on YPD agar supplemented with 0.0, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 g/l FF. The cell suspension, containing approximately l × 107 cells/ml was 10-fold serially diluted and spotted onto agar plates, which were incubated at 30 °C for 72 h. Data were reproduced by two independent experiments. Arrows indicate the presence of spotted cellsBack to article page
