Fig. 7.
Growth and PHA accumulation of P. umsongensis GO16 on minimal salts media (MSMlim) supplemented with an equimolar synthetic mixture of TA and EG to a final concentration of 40 mM (8.4 g l−1 TA, 2.48 g l−1 EG), mimicking enzymatically hydrolysed PET, in a 5 l bioreactor with a 3 l working volume at 30°C. The figure shows (A) biomass accumulation (CDW; g l−1; ▲), nitrogen utilization (g l−1; ♦) and PHA accumulation (g l−1; ■) (B) TA (●) and EG (×) utilization. Error bars represent the standard deviation of three biological replicates.
