FIG. 3.
(a) Comparative temperature-dependent growth optima of VDYT on nitrate (open squares) and perchlorate (closed circles). (b) Transient chlorate accumulation by strain VDYT while growing on perchlorate. Closed circles, optical density at 600 nm (O.D. 600 nm); open squares, ClO4−; open triangles, ClO3−. The error bars represent the standard deviations of triplicate samples.
