Representative batch growth curves of M. frederiksbergense LB501T on 2 g of size-fractionated (0.2- to 0.5-mm) solid anthracene liter⁻¹ and with continuous addition of DMSO-dissolved anthracene at an identical substrate carbon flux as that in which 2 g of solid anthracene liter⁻¹ would dissolve under abiotic conditions.
