Summary The fermentation of glucose (5g/L), xylose (80g/L) and arabinose (5g/L) produced 42.5g/L of ethanol in 96 hours, yielding 0.49g of alcohol per g of sugar using recombinantEscherichia coli. At these concentrations, the first sugar to be consumed was glucose, followed by arabinose and xylose last.
