An overnight culture was diluited 1:100 and grown until O.D.600 reached 0.5. After that, 3
 +
ml of culture induced with 5 mM arabinose was placed with a stirrer in a sealed vial (V =
 +
15 ml) with a pierceable septum. The sample was then connected to the Micro Gas
 +
Chromatograph Agilent 3000A endowed with two colums: a Mol Sieve 5A Plot and a Plot U
 +
column (see the tables for colums and method specifications).

A measurment was taken every 45 min / 1 h in order to get an overview of the time course
 +
of ethylene production.<br/>
 +
In order to estimate how much gas was taken for each measurement using the settings
 +
described above, a mass flow meter was connected to the micro GC.
 +
During a measurment, a flow of 3 (± 0.15) ml / min was registered. Due to the fact that a
 +
measurment lasts 10 s, the withdrawn volume was 0.5 ml.
