Extended Data Fig. 4: Effect of acetate on growth of K. exigua, R. mucilaginosa, S. unisporus, and K. marxianus. S. unisporus and K. marxianus profit from low acetate concentrations.
From: Metabolic cooperation and spatiotemporal niche partitioning in a kefir microbial community
K. exigua and R. mucilaginosa, are inhibited even by small acetate supplements. Changes in species growth are assessed relative to growth in non-supplemented milk whey. N = 4, biologically independent samples, error bars = mean values +/− SD.
