Adaptive laboratory evolution results on PET monomers. Comparison of the wild type versus non-evolved and evolved strains of P. pantotrophus DSM 2944 tph on A being 40 mM ethylene glycol (EG) and B being 20 mM of terephthalic acid (TA) as the sole carbon source. The Growth Profiler was used for online biomass measurements. The experiment was conducted in triplicates, and the error bars represent the deviation from the mean
