FIG 6.
Pseudo-heat map showing the phenotypes of Lactobacillus kunkeei BVI52 and B7 and Fructobacillus fructosus B4 and MBIII2 during growth in fructose-yeast extract-polypeptone broth (FYP), glucose-yeast extract-polypeptone broth (GYP), and GYP broth supplemented with p-coumaric acid at a concentration of 2 mmol liter−1 (GYP + pC) incubated anaerobically at 30°C for 36 h. Each phenotype profile was assayed for growth in the presence of 190 carbon sources using the OmniLog phenotypic microarrays. The color scale shows the cellular respiration activity, evaluated through the OmniLog automated incubator/reader (Biolog) as the area of a region bounded by a color development time series. Only the most significant (P < 0.05) differences in metabolic activities under the experimental conditions used in this study are shown. Phenotype categories are differentiated with different colors.
