FIGURE 7.

(A) Structures of the components (i.e., glucose, fructose, sucrose, inulin). of inulin were shown. (B) The growth curve of F. prausnitzii cultured in mYCFA supplemented with either glucose, fructose, sucrose, or inulin. (C) The growth curve of F. prausnitzii cultured in mYCFA supplemented with either fructose or sucrose. Cells cultured in inulin or glucose were harvested and inoculated in fructose or sucrose. Each point on the curves represents the average of three independent experiments. Error bars represent standard deviations (s.d.).
