Comparison of ethanol fermentation by the blended yeast of RTSH and wild-type yeast with that by RTSH yeast alone and wild-type yeast alone. Ethanol fermentation was evaluated using high-performance liquid chromatography as described in the Materials and methods section. The carbon source for fermentation was laccase-treated newspaper. The symbols indicate each strain: ♦, the blended yeast of wild-type yeast and RTSH yeast in a ratio of 46:1; , RTSH yeast; ▲, wild–type yeast. Values represent the means ± standard deviation of the results from 3 independent experiments.
