Sample (s)	E_c	E_p	E_y	E_sy	E_TE
S ₁	14.3^c ± 0.12	0.24^a ± 0.09	0.143^c ± 0.11	0.322^c ± 0.11	0.261^c ± 0.11
S ₂	12.8^d ± 0.13	0.21^a ± 0.17	0.128^d ± 0.08	0.299^d ± 0.08	0.243^d ± 0.17

E_c, ethanol concentration (g L⁻¹); E_p, ethanol productivity (g L⁻¹ h⁻¹); E_y, ethanol yield (g g⁻¹ WHB); E_sy, specific ethanol yield (g g⁻¹ sugar); E_TE, theoretical yield (g g⁻¹ WHB); S1, hydrolysate from T. reesei; S2, hydrolysate from F. oxysporum. Values are the mean of three replicates ± SE. Mean followed by the same letter within treatment do not differ significantly (p = 0.05).
