FIG 1.
Degradation of PYR and PHE as sole substrates and in a binary mixture by four Mycobacterium strains. The initial PYR or PHE concentration was 100 ppm (200 ppm total PAH in mixture). The error bars are the standard deviations. Antagonistic interactions were observed for three (czh-101, JS19b1, and czh-3) of the four strains.
