BA interferes with 4-HBA degradation in Xcc. a Ability of Xcc in degrading BA over time. b Growth time course of XC1 in XYS medium supplemented with 0.5 mM 4-HBA and 0.1–0.5 mM BA. c Time course of 4-HBA degradation in XC1 cultures supplemented with 0.5 mM 4-HBA and 0.1–0.5 mM BA. The mean values of three technical repeats are shown
