EtBE and TBA depletion [%] after 83 days in microcosms with samples from the unamended control or medium condition, respectively, plus 5 mM analogue substrate. Initially the MtBE, EtBE, and TBA concentration were 50 μM. At 71 days, 5 mM vanillate, ferulate, or syringate was re-added to the specific medium microcosms

Analogue substrate	EtBE depletion unamended control / medium [%]	TBA depletion unamended control / medium [%]
Vanillate	0 / 0	26.3 / 62.5
Ferulate	86.5 / 33.9	93.8 / 45.7
Syringate	36.4 / 37.6	25.2 / 35.1
Isopropanol	15.7 / 0	18.2 / 22.3
Methanol	0 / 0	18.7 / 45.8
Diethyl ether	55.8 / 44.7	19.6 / 30.6
