  1. Cultures were performed in 1 L-working volume of CM1 containing 3.0 g/L ammonium acetate and 90 g/L glucose.
  2. All data are given as the mean of two or three fermentations the standard error to the mean is indicated in brackets.
  3. 1 a negative value (−) indicates that initial acetic acid from culture medium was partially consumed.
  4. 2 Fermentations were carried out at pH 5.0 but the pH set-point was not reached.
