Predicted evolution of conversion factor X, oxygen concentration, and microbial growth for dissolved oil. Left column: Effects of initial oil concentrations (0.04, 0.4, and 4.0 mg/L) with the same initial microbe concentration of 2.73 × 104 cells/ml. Right column: Effects of initial microbial concentrations (2.73 × 102, 2.73 × 103, and 2.73 × 104) with the initial dissolved oil concentration of 0.4 mg/L.
