A Predicted flux (mmol gDW−1h−1) of key metabolites and their cross-feeding at optimal growth rate for Consortium 9. BTHE: B. thetaiotaomicron, CEUT: C. eutactus, BADO: B. adolescentis, LBRE: L. brevis, LPAR: L. paracasei. Blue cells indicate predicted metabolite release into the extracellular medium, and red cells indicate uptake by the bacterium. B predicted flux of key metabolites and their cross-feeding at optimal growth rates for Consortium C8c. C Network representation of predicted cross-feeding across members of Consortium 9. Export metabolites are shown in blue, uptake metabolites are shown in red, and green diamonds indicate specific metabolic or exchange reactions for these metabolites. EX indicates exchange metabolites.
