Congener composition of the biosurfactant mixtures produced by the three different production cell factories. The first bar represents the composition in the HAA producing cell factory carrying only rhlA. The second cell factory also carries rhlB and is thus capable of producing mono-rhamnolipids, while the third cell factory produces di- and mono-rhamnolipids, mediated by the second rhamnosyltransferase rhlC. White columns depict the share of the congener being composed of C10-C8 β-hydroxy-fatty acids. The striped box represents the share of C10-C10 hydrophobic moieties, while the grey and black fields stand for C10-C12:1 and C10-C12 hydrophobic moieties of the biosurfactant molecule, respectively. The error bars represent the deviation from the mean and are based on the values of ten time points from two biological replicates
