Survival of P. putida DOT-T1E to sudden shocks of trans-cinnamic acid (50 mM) and styrene (0.1% (v/v)) in cells grown on glucose, glucose plus styrene in the gas phase, glucose plus 10 mM trans-cinnamic or with the two test compounds simultaneously. The results shown are the averages and standard deviations of three independent assays of cells that survived a 60 min shock upon addition of 50 mM trans-cinnamic acid (yellow bars) or 0.1% (v/v) styrene (green bars). The control assay is represented in orange
