Extended Data Fig. 4: Amino acids and peptides stimulate the growth of different Veillonella strains.
(a) The growth of various Veillonella strains was studied in SKbN with 0.5% yeast extract, and with and without 1% casitone, 1% casamino acids, or 50 mM L-aspartic acid (n = 3 biological replicates). (b) The addition of lactate or malate stimulates growth of V. parvula in SKb medium (n = 4 biological replicates). Growth rates (µmax) were calculated for each growth curve. Data represent mean ± SEM, analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD test (a) or Dunnett’s test (b). NS, not significant.
