The effect of purified EPS on the aerobic growth of strains of Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus, and Bifidobacterium. Growth of the indicated strains (L. mesenteroides CGMCC10064 and ATCC10830a, Lactobacillus plantarum ST-III, and Bifidobacterium longum NCC2705) in TYC media in the absence or presence of the purified EPS from CGMCC10064 was analyzed through quantifying the number of viable cells. The logarithms were calculated and shown in the graph. The average values of three determinations and the standard deviations are shown in the graph. A reference line was drawn to indicate the approximate initial value (i.e., the logarithm of the number of viable cells as estimated) of the cultures before exposure to oxygen.
