Fig. 3: Utilization of glucose and pyruvate by Delftia sp. DT-2 and Bacillus sp. BP-3.
From: Two-tiered mutualism improves survival and competitiveness of cross-feeding soil bacteria

Utilization of glucose (A), growth of DT-2 and BP-3 (B), and effect on the pH of culture medium (C). Utilization of pyruvate (D), growth of DT-2 and BP-3 (E), and effect on the pH of the culture medium (F). The control group did not contain bacteria. Except for the co-culture indicated in panel A, the others were all mono-culture. The data are presented as the mean ± standard error (n = 3). Error bars in some figures are too small to visualize.
