Figure 6.11 Plot of % biodegradation of LAB vs. log10 internal:external (I:E) nC12 LAB isomer ratio with linear regression (heavy) line, 95% confidence (light) and 95 % prediction intervals (broken lines). Data points are from individual bottles: aerobic (◊), anaerobic containing multiple TEAs (□) or nitrate alone (▲) and aerobic data from the literature (Takada & Ishiwatari 1990) (×)
