Growth of Acinetobacter radioresistens strain S13 on n‐alkanes. (A) Growth curve of Acinetobacter radioresistens strain S13 isolate in minimal medium (circle) supplemented with C14 (square) and C16 (triangle) during the first 96 h, (B) bacterial growth was followed by measuring OD at 600 nm after 36 h in the case of the liquid, medium‐length chain C14 and C16 alkanes and (C) viable cells number per millilitre of cultures when the bacteria were grown on minimal medium supplemented with the solid, long‐length chain C24 and C36 alkanes after 3 and 6 days respectively. CTRL = control experiments with bacterial culture grown on minimal medium without n‐alkanes.
