Figure 5.
Chromatograms of collected decane layers from a 34-h fatty acid overproducing culture
(RL08/pBAD33-ACC/pBAD35-BTE, second from top trace) and a negative control culture
(RL08/pBAD33/pBAD35-BTE-H204A, second from bottom trace) following
decarboxylation at 300°C in a plug flow reactor containing 1% (w/w) Pd/C catalyst in the
presence of hydrogen. A standard containing undecane and dodecane in a decane solvent
(top trace) and a blank decane sample (bottom trace) are shown for comparison
