Impact of the MTBE degradation pathway on Smin. The calculations (equation 16) were performed by taking into account MTBE degradation via the mutase pathway (Fig. 2, route 4) (b = 0.0146 h−1) and the dehydratase/direct oxidation variant pathway (Fig. 2, route 3b) (b = 0.0153 h−1), respectively. The terms lim-Route4 and lim-Route3b indicate threshold rates at which productive degradation of MTBE would not further be possible by using the respective pathways (Smin = ∞).
