A Growth of Bifidobacterium with fungal β-glucan supernatant from Baccell WH2. B HPLC analysis of supernatants before and after growth of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum on supernantants from Baccell WH2. C Growth of Bifidobacterium with fungal β-glucan supernatant from BT. D HPLC analysis of supernatants before and after growth of Bifidobacterium longum subspecie longum on cell-free supernatant of BT grown on fungal β-glucan. E HPLC analysis of supernatants before and after growth of Bi breve UCC2003 and L. plantarum on cell-free supernatants of BT grown on fungal β-glucan. All growths and HPLC experiments have been produced in 3 different independent replicates (n = 3).
