Acetone and acetate production from fructose by the recombinant Moorella thermoacetica strains. a, c Dry cell weight according to the OD for the pyrF::acetone strain (a) and pduL2::acetone strain (c). b, d Concentration of fructose and excreted metabolites in the culture supernatant measured by HPLC for the pyrF::acetone strain (b) and the pduL2::acetone strain (d). Data represent the mean with SDs of three biological replicates. Most error bars are smaller than the symbols of data plots. e The acetone and acetate productivity per 1 mol of fructose is shown with black (acetone) and gray (acetate) bars. The productivity was calculated based on the measurement after complete consumption of the supplemented fructose. The parental strain, ATCC 39073 (wild type), which does not produce acetone is shown for comparison. Data represent the mean with SDs of three biological replicates
