Growth profiles of 450 isolated evolved stains cultivated in 0.2 mL synthetic medium containing 15% v/v pure glycerol. The average growth curves of a WTev.pure, n = 297; b EMSev.pure, n = 100; c WTev.crude, n = 53 (n, number of individual strains) are shown in red and their standard deviation in pink shading. Error bars indicate standard deviation for the parental strain WTpar. OD600nm was monitored using a microtiter plate reader. Number of technical replicates (N = 3)
