| Abstract: | The concentration of carbon sources has a significant influence on the growth, carbohydrate uptake and metabolite distribution in Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum. The growing concentrations of glucose or starch increase the production of ethanol and lactate, the intracellular fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP) and the specific activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), but decrease the ethanol/lactate ratio. |
