From: De novo production of the monoterpenoid geranic acid by metabolically engineered Pseudomonas putida
Growth inhibition of S. cerevisiae , E. coli and P. putida by geranic acid. Indicated are the ratios of the maximum growth rate at given geranic acid concentrations (μmax) to the maximum growth rate without monoterpenoid (μmax0) at different geranic acid concentrations for S. cerevisiae, E. coli and P. putida. Cells were grown in screw cap shake flasks in complex medium and different geranic acid amounts were added at the beginning of the exponential phase. Samples were taken for OD measurements to calculate μmax. Mean values of two independent experiments, indicated by error bars, are given.
