^aFour mixtures were designed that each contained 10 L. plantarum strains with 10 distinctive 339-IR-340 sequences. The variable amount of the tenth strain (reference WCFS1) was a dilution series and is subtracted from the other strains.

^bNr indicates sample number.

^cSt dev indicates standard deviation of the 4 replicates.
