(A) Growth (determined as OD₆₀₀) and (B) cumulative luminescence of W1+iluxAB, ADP1 Acr1+iluxAB, ADP1 ΔaceA ​+ ​iluxAB, and ADP1+iluxAB grown on alanine, asparagine, aspartate, glutamate, glutamine, and proline (the 6 amino acids can be used by A. baylyi ADP1 as sole carbon source). All the strains express bacterial luciferase LuxAB that produces luminescence when reacting with the WE synthesis pathway intermediates, fatty aldehydes, indicating the relative activity of the synthesis pathway. The results represent the mean of two replicates and the error bars represent the standard deviations.
