Prevotella form propionate, succinate, and acetate during fermentation of glucose. (A) Yield of fermentation products. (B) Recovery of carbon is near or above 100%. (C) Recovery of hydrogen is also near or above 100%. (D) Summary of growth and fermentation. In (A), the yield of cells is g (mmol glucose)−1. Results are mean ± standard error of at least 3 biological replicates (culture supernatant or cells prepared from independent cultures).
