Figure 2. Growth curves of P. aeruginosa SJTD-1 in n-alkanes.

Strain SJTD-1 was cultured in BSM supplemented with different concentrations (▪ 100 mg/L, • 250 mg/L, ▴ 500 mg/L, ▾ 1,000 mg/L, and ♦ 2,000 mg/L) of n-alkanes: n-decane (A), n-dodecane (B), n-tetradecane (C), n-hexadecane (D), n-octadecane (E), n-eicosane (F), n-docosane (G), and n-tetracosane (H) for seven days at 30°C. The data are expressed as mean values and the standard deviations are shown.
