Figure 4.
Serpin protein concentration in a set of B. longum subsp. longum strains grown for 16 h on MRSc medium supplemented with 1% glucose (black bars) or 1% galactose (grey bars). Bars represent means and standard deviations are shown. Panel A depicts B. longum subsp. longum strains able to rapidly grow on galactose as a sole carbon source). Panel B displays B. longum subp. longum strains not able to rapidly switch to galactose as a sole carbon source. These strains were grown on a medium supplemented with 1% glucose (black bars) or with a mixture of 0.2% glucose and 0.8% galactose (grey bars). P-values represent statistical difference to the glucose control groups. ****p < 0.0001.
