FIGURE 8.
Growth of Akkermansia muciniphila in modified PYG medium in the presence of SJP, alginate oligosaccharides (Algo), fucose (Fuc), and glucose (Glc). The control condition (CK) was achieved by excluding the addition of experimental substances. (A) Changes in OD600 in each culture group. (B) Fold change in the A. muciniphila gene copy in each group relative to CK. Results are shown as mean ± SD (n = 3). a,b,c,d Significant differences were analyzed using one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey HSD test for multiple group comparisons (p < 0.05). PYG, peptone–yeast extract–glucose; SJP, seaweed Laminaria japonica polysaccharides; HSD, honestly significant difference.
