Figure 5.
Boxplots of specific metabolites. The data points are from the metabolomic data that were normalized and scaled to the median value for each compound. Boxplots for mevalonate, glutamine, 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide, fumarate, malate, and succinate are shown. L. acidophilus NCFM (Lac), L. crispatus NCK1351 (Lcr), L. gasseri NCK1342 (Lga), and L. rhamnosus GG (Lrh), SDM media alone (ctrl), SDM media with POM 400 μg/ml at T0 (pom0) and T16 (pom16). p-values are indicated as follows: *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.005, ***p ≤ 0.0005, and they were determined by comparison to the control.
