C. a for Candida albicans, S. c for Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and S. s for Schefferomyces stipitis. B) Growth of C. albicans (SC5314), S. stipitis (CBS6054) and S. cerevisiae (BY4741) in SC with 2% xylose or 0.5% xylulose. Strains were grown aerobically at 30°C and the optical density measured over a period of six days, n=3.
