FIG 3.

In vitro investigation of yeast-LAB interaction patterns. (A) The interaction patterns in pairwise coculture experiments. Microbial counts were measured at 14 fermentation cycles. S. cerevisiae was monococultured as a control. The coculture tests were performed in at least two batches, and the average values are shown with error bars (standard deviation). The asterisked coculture tests were used for the spent medium assays. (B) S. cerevisiae growth assay in spent medium supplemented with five nutrition groups from the medium. Reproducibility was confirmed using the same assay on another batch.
