Insights into the susceptibility of Pseudomonas putida to industrially relevant aromatic hydrocarbons that it can synthesize from sugars

Table 1 Growth characteristics of P. putida DOT-T1E with glucose in the absence and in the presence of trans-cinnamic acid and styrene in the gas phase

Compounds in the culture medium	tg	CFU ml⁻¹_max	Y
Glucose	90.8 ± 0.0	6.67E + 09 ± 1.18 + 08	0.40 ± 0.01
Glucose + styrene (g)	88.5 ± 20.7	2.28E + 09 ± 1.53E + 08	0.39 ± 0.02
Glucose + 10 mM tCA	96.5 ± 5.9	5.33E + 09 ± 1.30E + 09	0.33 ± 0.01
Glucose + 10 mM tCA + styrene (g)	96.8 ± 3.2	1.48E + 09 ± 2.71E + 08	0.32 ± 0.01

tg generation time (min), CFU ml⁻¹_max maximum colony forming units, Y yield (g cells g⁻¹ sugar consumed in 24 h). The data are the average of at least two independent assays done each in triplicate ± standard deviations
