  1. Pool size ratios determined by GC-MS in extracts of C. glutamicum cells grown at pH 7.5 and pH 6. The ratios have been calculated using the mean values from two independently grown cultures and three technical replicates each. A t-test was applied for determining if observations were significantly different. Numbers in italics indicate values above the chosen significance cut off (P < 0.05), n.d. means not determined.
