(A) Growth curves of non-primary utilizing bacteria in media conditioned by
PBP-liberating utilizers. (B) TLC analysis of culture supernatants of recipient
bacteria grown in the CM of primary utilizers . As P.distasonis
did not grow in Bo-Inulin CM, its time points correspond to the
growth points of B. vulgatus in the same CM through the growth
phases (1-mid, 2-late log, 3-stationary). (C) Growth curves of B.
vulgatus in inulin media conditioned by different species of
inulin-utilizing Bacteroidales. (D) TLC analysis of culture supernatants of
B. vulgatus grown in B. caccae and
B. uniformis inulin CM through the growth phases (1-mid,
2-late log, 3-stationary). Data are representative of ≥3 independent
experiments, one representative experiment is shown.
