Figure 5.
Principal component analysis (80.3%) based on the quantification of five specific taxonomic groups during the 48 h incubations. qPCRs targeted Bifidobacteria, Lactobacilli, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Akkermansia muciniphila. Different symbol shapes indicate different treatments (‘no substrate control’ vs. baobab fruit pulp powder), while different colors indicate different timepoints. Letters inside symbols refer to the respective donor (A, B, or C).
