(A) Degradation of benzene, toluene, and ethylbenzene (BTE) during the second subculture (07/2002); Filled squares : ethylbenzene, filled diamonds : toluene, filled triangles : benzene, cross : o-xylene as internal standard. (B) Degradation of BTE along increase of observable biomass during the eighth subculture (04/2008); Filled squares : ethylbenzene, filled diamonds : toluene, filled triangles : benzene, cross : o-xylene as internal standard and filled circles: cells.mL-1. (C) Effects of inhibitors addition on BTE biodegradation during the eighth subculture (04/2008); Arrow indicates the addition at day 139 of sodium molybdate (MoO4, 10 mM) or bromoethanesulfonate (BES, 2 mM); Filled squares : ethylbenzene + BES, filled diamonds : toluene + BES, filled triangles : benzene +BES, cross : o-xylene as internal standard + BES or + MoO4, open squares : ethylbenzene + MoO4, open diamonds : toluene + MoO4, open triangles : benzene + MoO4. Start levels of BTEX were 100 ppm.
