[[File:Zymomonas mobilis Strain Comparisons.jpeg|thumb|400px|left|Figure 2. Strains of Zymomonas mobilis capable of inefficient xylose fermentation were cultured for an extended period of time in medium containing both glucose and xylose, to select for the ability to ferment xylose more efficiently. After an extended period of time, the strain A3 was separated from A1, and cultured in xylose-only medium. Here A1 and A3 were cultured independently in medium containing 5% glucose with or without 5% xylose. A1 only grew quickly when glucose fermentation could occur, but A3 grew quickly when either glucose or xylose fermentation was possible. Black squares represent overall cell mass, blue triangles represent "glucose only" experiments, red circles represent glucose and xylose experiments, filled circles represent A1, empty cirles represent A3. <br><br> Image source: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bit.23021/full [1]]] | |||
