FIG. 6.
Effect of dilution rate on the abundance of bacterial SSU rRNA (probe S-D-Bact-0338-a-A-18), novel starch-degrading clostridial SSU rRNA (probe S-S-RSD-184-a-A-16), bacteroides SSU rRNA (probe S-D-Bact-0338-a-A-18), and bifidobacterial SSU rRNA (probe S-G-Bif-164-a-A-18) in chemostats inoculated with human feces. Each value is the mean for two chemostats inoculated with different fecal samples, each analyzed in triplicate hybridizations ± the standard deviation.
