SL and GOS differentially modulate microbiota composition. Batch cultures of adult and infant pooled fecal samples cultured in growth medium were supplemented with or without SL or GOS in duplo. Fecal samples were collected at the start of the batch culture and after 3, 6, 9, and 24 h. Microbiota composition on genus level (A–F) and on species level (G,H) was determined by qPCR and chip analysis, respectively. Bacterial numbers were shown as mean ± SEM of two independent batch cultures. Raw fluorescence data are shown for both individual runs for chip analysis.
