Growth of T. linaloolentis 47Lol^T on 2 mM (R,S)-linalool under denitrifying conditions. a Optical density at 600 nm as a measure for growth and linalool concentration in mM, b Optical density at 600 nm as a measure for growth and geraniol, geranial and geranic acid concentration in μM. Experiment was performed in duplicates. Initial increase in linalool concentration is due to time-dependent dissolution of linalool in medium. Linalool decreased accompanied with an increase in optical density. Geraniol and geranial accumulated only transiently, while geranic acid accumulated up to 200 μM
