Figure 2.

A heatmap presents the growth of analyzed Lactobacillus spp. (rhamnosus ŁOCK 1087, paracasei ŁOCK 1091, reuteri ŁOCK 1092, plantarum ŁOCK 0860 and pentosus ŁOCK 1094) which were cultivated in de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe (MRS) broth or the semi-solid fermentation (SSF) medium, with standardized pH, in diverse temperatures, or various pH levels of media in 37 °C. The obtained numbers of bacteria are displayed as the logarithm of colony-forming units per milliliter log(CFU/mL) (MRS medium) or gram log(CFU/g) (SSF medium). Strains are listed at the bottom of the heatmap as the ŁOCK collection numbers with the medium in which they were cultivated, whereas modified growth parameters are given on the right side of the plot.
