Table 3.
Monomer composition, as ratio referred to glucose or as percentage (in brackets), of acetylated methyl glycosides (AMG), after dephosphorylation with aqueous hydrofluoric acid (HF), of EPSs purified from skim-milks fermented for 48 h with the L. plantarum LBIO1, LBIO14 or LBIO28 strains. The Supplementary Figure S3 shows the GC-MS (gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry) chromatograms.
