ATCC 33988 degrades n-alkanes more rapidly than PAO1. (a) Time required for ATCC 33988 and PAO1 cultures to reach OD600 = 0.8 when provided with 5% v/v n-alkanes or glycerol as the sole carbon source. PAO1 (b) and ATCC 33988 (c) n-alkane degradation profiles at the time of harvesting. All conditions were tested in triplicate. * indicates p < 0.05 for data discussed in text
