FIG 1.

Glycome of B. adolescentis 22L. (a and b) Predicted glycoside-hydrolase (GH), glycoside-transferase (GT), and carbohydrate esterase (CE) families encoded by the genome of B. adolescentis 22L according to the CAZy database (24). The glycome identified in the genome of 22L is compared to all of the GH, GT, and CE families identified so far in currently available bifidobacterial genome sequences. (c) Growth curves of B. adolescentis 22L in a growth medium containing different carbohydrates as the sole carbon source. Growth was measured as the optical density of the medium at 600 nm. Cultures were grown in biologically independent triplicates.
