a Media macronutrient compositions. After a 24 h culture, bacterial endpoint growth was determined for (b) the total community, c E. coli and d Bacteroidetes (n = 8). e, f Growth of (e) E. coli and (f) Bacteroidales in MAL-M media with 1× (1.9 µM) or 10× (19 µM) hematin (n = 8). Mean + /− SEM are displayed. Significance was determined by two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test (b–f). **P value < 0.01, ****P value < 0.0001. B Bacteroidales mix, E E. coli mix, CFU colony-forming units, Carb carbohydrate media, CarbM carbohydrate plus mucus media, Prot protein media, ProtM protein plus mucus media. Source data are provided as a Source Data file. Exact P values and test statistics are reported in Supplementary Table 8.
