Fig. 3: Energy yield from oxidation of trace gases in air.
From: Physiological basis for atmospheric methane oxidation and methanotrophic growth on air
Mean total energy yield of M. aurea KYG, M. gorgona MG08, M. palsarum NE2, M. rosea SV97 from the oxidation of atmospheric CH4, H2, and CO displayed in red, blue, and green, respectively, in kJ per mol cellular carbon (C-mol) and hour. Colors indicate the contribution of the individual trace gases to the total energy yield. Error bars represent the standard deviation. Black dots indicate the total energy yield from H2, CO, and CH4 of the respective biological replicates (n = 5). Source data are provided in the Source Data file and in the Supplementary Data file (Dataset 3).
