TABLE 2.

Relative AlkB synthesis rates and specific growth rates in P. oleovorans grown on various carbon sources^a

Carbon sourceb	μ (h−1)		AlkB synthesisc (% of new protein)
	− Ind.d	+ Ind.	− Ind.	+ Ind.
Octane	NAe	0.35	NA	1.1
Lactate	0.55	0.48	<0.01	0.24
Glucose	0.55	0.54	0.03	0.25
Succinate	0.60	0.54	NDf	ND
Citrate	0.55	0.42	0.06	1.75
Pyruvate	0.42	0.32	0.06	1.6
Glycerol	0.23	0.18	<0.01	1.8

^aAll cultures except the octane-grown culture were induced by addition of 0.05% (vol/vol) DCPK. 

^bAll carbon sources were supplied at a concentration of 0.5% (wt/vol) except octane, which was added to 5% (vol/vol). 

^cThe relative AlkB synthesis rate (as weight percentage of newly synthesized protein) is shown. 

^dInd., inducer. 

^eNA, not applicable. 

^fND, not determined.
