FIG 3.

Genes differentially expressed in the carbohydrate utilization and metabolite production pathways in L. plantarum ST-III during growth on FOS compared with growth on glucose. Genes that were upregulated are shown in red. PTS, phosphotransferase system; SacA, β-fructofuranosidase; SacK, fructokinase; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; POX, pyruvate oxidase; ACK, acetate kinase; PDH, pyruvate dehydrogenase; PFL, pyruvate formate lyase; PTA, phosphotransacetylase; ACDH, acetaldehyde dehydrogenase; ADHE, alcohol dehydrogenase; CoA, coenzyme A.
