title: Strain selection in carbon-limited chemostats affects reproducibility of Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus fermentations.
abstract: We found that the reproducibility of chemostat trials can be improved by using chemostat-adapted strains. Our experimental findings are consistent with adaptation that involves an improvement in culture fitness and an alteration of the fermentation genotype.
