Figure 3From: Production of functionalized polyhydroxyalkanoates by genetically modified Methylobacterium extorquens strainsGrowth of M. extorquens strains. Growth of the wildtype M. extorquens strain and of the two recombinant M. extorquens strains on methanol (Phase 1, 0-68 h) and on methanol + 10-undecenoic acid (C11=) (Phase 2, 68 h-end). Addition of the mixture is indicated by the arrow. (â—†) wildtype strain, n = 3; (â– ) M. ex-pha C1 strain, n = 3; (â–²) M. ex-pha C2 strain, n = 2. The medium initially contained 1 vol% methanol. At 68 h, methanol and C11= were added to give a final concentration of 2 vol% and 0.2 vol% of methanol and C11=, respectively.Back to article page
