Fig. 3

Medium-chain carboxylates concentration in sunflower oil as measured in back-extracted samples from extractive chain elongation continuous reactors: A R1 and B R2. Initial substrates were l-lactate and acetate. Bubble size shows extraction flux to the solvent based on cumulative carboxylates concentrations between two contiguous sampling points. Empty bubbles show negative flux values (apparent re-solubilization to the aqueous phase). Operational days corresponding to periods II-a, II-b and III are shown in Additional file 1: Table S1
