AWCD vs time curves of metabolized substrates in Biolog EcoPlates based on 144-h incubation of river microorganisms exposed to Satureja montana hydrolate. Black line is the negative control (microorganisms of water that have not been treated with hydrolate). Each point is the average value of three replicates. Error bars represent the standard deviation of mean of three replicates (n = 3).
