Abstract excerpt
Microbes in natural environments often encounter diverse mixtures of organic compounds, yet how mixed substrate environments and their molecular composition shape microbial phenotypes remains understudied. Here, we examined how a defined fungal exudate mimic (FEM) mixture influences growth and metabolism in Pseudomonas putida KT2440 compared to individual substrates matched for total carbon and nitrogen. Growth...
