Set-up and validation of the MPigut-IVM: microbiota composition. a Evolution of the structure and colonization of a mucin bead before (I) and after (II) 48 h of incubation in the MPigut-IVM during the fermentation #1 and observation of the specific adherent microbiota at high magnitude (III & IV) by scanning electron microscopy. b Relative abundance of the 15 principal bacterial families in the bioreactor medium of the MPigut-IVM during control assays measured by 16S Illumina sequencing. c Relative abundance of the 15 principal bacterial families on the mucin beads of the MPigut-IVM during control assays measured by 16S Illumina sequencing
