Fig. 5From: Modulating the import of medium-chain alkanes in E. coli through tuned expression of FadLSignificance of FadL in conferring tolerance towards alkanes. OD600 measurement of initial (outlined columns) cell density of wild-type E. coli strain BW25113, ΔmarR, ΔfadL, and ΔompW E. coli strains incubated for 3 h (solid columns) with hexane (10 % v/v, orange) compared to controls with no hexane (grey). Results are an average of three biological replicates with error bars representing standard deviationBack to article page
