Figure 3.

Levels of metabolites involved in TCA cycle and diversion of key intermediates to biosynthetic pathways. In the box and whisker plots, 1 and 3 represent MG and DH lines (ancestors), and 2 and 4 represent MGAdp and DHAdp lines (evolved). The top and bottom of each box represent the 25th and 75th percentiles, the centre square indicates the mean, and the extents of the whiskers show the extent of the data. For each metabolite, the maximal measured peak area was normalized to a value of 100.
