Molar C:N SMA regression data.

Strain	N	r2	Slope	Intercept
Aeromonas sp.	10	0.991	0.822	1.19 (15.5)
Arthrobacter sp.	23	0.997	0.893	1.08(12.0)
Brevibacterium	4	0.980	0.927	0.88 (7.59)
Cellulomonas cellulans	10	0.998	0.966	0.69 (4.90)
Cellvibrio gilvus	10	0.981	0.902	0.97 (9.33)
Flavobacterium sp.	24	0.990	0.936	0.82 (6.61)

All regressions were significant at p = 0.05. Parenthetical data in the ‘Intercept’ column represent the log-transformed estimate of the C:N ratio.
