Fig. 3From: Modulating the import of medium-chain alkanes in E. coli through tuned expression of FadLImpact of E. coli FadL and OmpW mutants on the whole-cell bioconversion of octane. Experiments were performed in BW25113 single deletion mutants and strains complemented with ASKA plasmid encoding for fadL and ompW. The total levels of oxidized products was determined by GC-FID after 8Â h in partially sealed wells using octane as substrate. Results are an average of at least 3 biological replicates and error bars show the standard errorBack to article page
