Figure 1From: Quantitative transcription dynamic analysis reveals candidate genes and key regulators for ethanol tolerance in Saccharomyces cerevisiaeCell growth response to ethanol and inhibitors. Comparison of cell growth and colony appearance for ethanol-tolerant and inhibitor-tolerant mutant Saccharomyces cerevisiae NRRL Y-50316 and its parental inhibitor-tolerant strain NRRL Y-50049 on YM plate of 2% glucose containing 8% (v/v) ethanol (A) or amended with inhibitors of furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural each at 10 mM (B). The cultures initially applied were estimated with viable cell account of approximately 1.0 × 107 per ml as measured by colony forming units. A serial of 10-fold culture dilutions in water were spotted onto a medium plate containing ethanol or inhibitors and cell growth examined 7 days after incubation at 30°C.Back to article page
