Growth and sugar consumption in the presence of 10 mM arabinose and glucose. Synechocystis strains A-Ut1, A-Ut2, A-Ut3 and A-Ut4 were grown in the presence of 10 mM (1.50 g/L) L-arabinose and 10 mM (1.80 g/L) D-glucose. a Photograph depicting differential growth shown by the transformant strains at the end of the third day of culture. b Dry biomass, c Residual arabinose and d Residual glucose measured in the cultures of the transformant strains. Data represented in graphs were collected from three biological replicates and presented as means ± standard deviations
