Figure 1. C. phytofermentans growth on pectic A–E, hemicellulosic F–J, and glucan K–L.

Polysaccharides: homogalacturonan A, rhamnogalacturonan I B, galactan C, arabinan D, arabinogalactan II E, xylan F, arabinoxylan G, glucomannan H, galactomannan I, xyloglucan J, carboxymethylcellulose K, starch L. Growth was measured as OD₆₀₀ every 15 minutes. Each point is the mean of six cultures; red lines show one standard deviation.
