FIG. 2.

Growth curves of P. putida CA-3 on a glucose mineral medium (750 μl) in deep-well microtiter plates incubated under various conditions: orbital shaking, 2.5-cm diameter, 300 rpm (⧫ and ◊); orbital shaking, 2.5-cm diameter, 375 rpm (■ and □); and orbital shaking, 5-cm diameter, 300 rpm (▴ and ▵). The dashed lines denote the slopes resulting from linear regression of the data points represented with solid symbols in the linear, oxygen-limited part of the growth curve. These slopes were used to calculate the OTRs given in Table 1.
