Fig. 9: Growth of diverse Bacteroides spp. in minimal medium containing de-starched wheat bran as the sole carbon source.
From: Degradation of complex arabinoxylans by human colonic Bacteroidetes

HPLC-DAD chromatogram of B. intestinalis, B. cellulosilyticus, B. oleiciplenus, and B. eggerthii spent medium from growth on de-starched wheat bran as the sole carbon source showing release of ferulic acid into the medium. The de-starched wheat bran trace shows concentration of free ferulic acid in medium without bacterial inoculation (as control). The results are presented as the mean ± the standard deviation of three independent reactions (n = 3), and the traces are representatives of the three different reactions. The source data underlying Fig. 9 are provided in the Source Data file.
