^aM = monoculture from laboratory isolates. UAE = unknown aerobically plated environmental isolate. UAN = unknown anaerobically plated environmental isolate. Optical density data (OD₆₀₀) readings from day 1 of growth averaged from three replicate growth assay plates, with data from each plate an average of three replicate wells. Background correction performed by subtracting averages of syrup with PBS wells from each plate. Standard deviations calculated for each individual syrup experiment across the independent replicate plates, and across the independent syrup experiments. Gray boxes denote the organisms with the highest average growth across all syrups.
