Fig. 3: 3-HP dependent growth control of the microbial consortium in presence of ampicillin.

Comparison of biomass formation (ΔOD600, the difference in OD600 values at 0 h and 24 h) in various combinations of 3-HP (0, 0.5, and 2 g/L) and ampicillin (0, 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 µg/mL) concentrations. Error bars represent the standard deviations of triplicate biological experiments (n = 3) and their center indicates a mean value. P values were calculated using Student’s t-test (two-tailed). White dot indicates actual data point. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
