Fig 1 — Comparison of cell numbers determined with qPCR assays and the Thoma-Zeiss counting chamber using human adult feces spiked with Bifidobacterium species cells. (A) Spiking was performed with 6 log₁₀ (▲), 7 log₁₀ (●), and 8 log₁₀ (■) cells of six Bifidobacterium species. (B) Spiking was performed with 5 log₁₀ (n = 3), 6 log₁₀ (n = 6), 7 log₁₀ (n = 6), 8 log₁₀ (n = 6), and 9 log₁₀ (n = 5) cells of B. adolescentis (⊙), B. angulatum (⊡), B. animalis (), B. breve (♢), B. pseudolongum (▽), and B. thermophilum (○). The values are means. Significance was estimated by one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni's posttests. Differences of means were not significant. GroEL copy recovery was 48% ± 6% (A) and 45% ± 6% (B) (means ± SD).
