Figure 3.

First hits on reducing mortality of acute colitis. (A) Schematic depicts the screening methodology to reduce the mortality of 0.6% dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) induced acute colitis. (B) Survival of larvae after 1-day immersion of bacteria suspension, data are presented as mean ± SEM, n ≥ 8 biologically independent animals from three independent experiments. Strain is considered an effective candidate when the mean survival rate exceeds water control (gray). Values indicated by the bars with different letters are significantly different (p < 0.05, one-way ANOVA).
