Fig. 6From: Construction and analysis of an artificial consortium based on the fast-growing cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus UTEX 2973 to produce the platform chemical 3-hydroxypropionic acid from CO2Growth of cyanobacteria and H2O2 content in different culture conditions. a Difference in the growth of S. elongatus cscB+ in the artificial consortium and under axenic conditions. The blue rhombus represents the cell number in the axenic consortium, the orange rectangle represents the cell number in the artificial consortium, and the gray triangle represents the ratio between the two conditions. b H2O2 content in blank CoBG-11 (control), axenic culture and co-culture systems under the same conditions (30 °C, 100 μE m−2s−1 light, 150 mM NaCl; “*” indicates that no detectable amount was observed under the conditions). The error bars represent the calculated standard deviation of the measurements of three biological replicatesBack to article page
