Degradation of specific diesel fuel components by Rhodococcus sp. strain Q15 at 5°C in MSM containing 0.1% (vol/vol) diesel fuel after 14 days of growth in MSM alone (solid bars) or supplemented with 10 ppm of YE (hatched bars) and after 28 days of growth in MSM alone (shaded bars) or supplemented with 10 ppm of YE (open bars). Abbreviations are described in the legend to Fig. 3 and correspond to the peaks shown in Fig. 3. Each point represents the mean from duplicate cultures.
