*At 192 hours, significant amounts of acetone had evaporated along with small amounts of butanol. However, the cultures were still metabolically active, as indicated by the decreased amounts of glucose and increased amounts of butanol. ^†Concentrations are mM. ^‡pSOS95del was used as a plasmid control strain.
