FIG 5.
Consumption (millimoles per liter) of p-coumaric (A), caffeic (B), syringic (C), and gallic (D) acids by fructophilic lactic acid bacteria (FLAB) strains during growth in fructose-yeast extract-polypeptone (FYP) broth supplemented with phenolic acids (1 mmol liter−1). The synthesis (millimoles per liter) of p-coumaric and caffeic acid derivatives (phloretic acid, p-vinylphenol, and dihydrocaffeic acid) is also reported. Analyses were performed in triplicate with three biological replicates for each condition.
