FIG. 2.
Survival of spores of probiotic strains in SGF. Spores of the probiotic strains BiosubtylNT (A), Enterogermina (B), Subtyl (C), Bactisubtil (D), and BiosubtylDL (E) and the laboratory strain PY79 (F) were treated in simulated gastric conditions (solid symbols), and viability was assessed at different times and compared with the viability of untreated samples (open symbols). The percentages were based on the original inocula. The data are arithmetic means of duplicate independent experiments.
