Growth of deletion strains in different carbon sources. A) Growth of R. eutropha H16 (wild type - ●) and CA deletion strains Re2427 (H16∆can - ○), Re2428 (H16∆caa -▼), Re2430 (H16∆cag - ∆) and Re2437 (H16∆can2 - ■) on different carbon sources: 0.2% (vol vol-1) formate (A), 0.2% (w vol-1) pyruvate (B), 0.2% (vol vol-1) lactate (C) and 0.2% (w vol-1) succinate (D), 1% (w vol-1) fructose (E), and 1% (w vol-1) fructose supplemented with 10% CO2(F). Values represented averages from three replicates with standard deviation as error bars.
