Both strain cultures reached maximal ethanol production rates at 0.12 h−1
(2.37 and 2.53 g/L•h, respectively for S1 and S2), maximal growth rates were achieved at 0.16 h−1 (0.44 and 0.38 g/L•h, respectively for S1 and
S2) and maximal sugar consumption rates were obtained at 0.08 h−1
(5.08 g/L•h) for S1 and at 0.12 h−1 (9.96 g/L•h) for S2 (Table 1).
