Figure 2. Glycoprofiling of the HMO consumption by select B. longum strains.

(A) Total utilization of HMO; (B) Total fucosylated HMO consumption. Bacteria were incubated with pooled HMO from breast milk and consumption was calculated as the percent difference in HMO between the start and the end of exponential phase. (C) Temporal glycoprofile of the consumption of select neutral and acidic HMO by B. longum SC596 at different phases during the exponential phase. Error bars represent experiments in triplicate.
