Fig. 5: The temporal evolution of the absolute difference in Mg concentration (µM) between the WT and the other set-ups using the data from Fig. 3b.

Notice how this difference increased between day 6 and 55 but remained stable after day 55 for the abiotic control, and Δpks1 and Δpks1/Δphd1 mutants, indicating that the effect of attachment on the dissolution of olivine in batch happened between day 6 and 55. The difference for the Δsdh1 mutant however kept increasing over time, indicating that the effect of the chelation of Fe lasted longer. Error bars represent twice the combined propagated uncertainties of both Mg concentrations.
