FIG 1.

Identification of potential alkane transporters screened by transcriptome analysis in Acinetobacter venetianus RAG-1. (A and B) Growth curves (A) and degradation rates (B) of the wild-type strain (WT) and ΔF959_RS02655, ΔF959_RS06225, ΔF959_RS06795, ΔF959_RS14525 (named ΔaltL), ΔaltL/P (ΔaltL containing pMMB67EH vector), and ΔaltL/PaltL (ΔaltL containing the altL complemented plasmid) strains cultured in C28 BSM medium for 5 days. Values are shown as means ± SD (n = 3) and were analyzed by independent-sample t test with the WT control (**, P < 0.01; ns, not significant).
