Figure Lengend Snippet: B. longum subsp. infantis ATCC 15697 fermentative endproducts while utilizing milk carbohydrates through the F6PPK pathway. Absolute concentrations of lactic acid (A) , acetic acid (B) , formic acid (C) , and ethanol (D) . In addition, acetic acid to lactic acid ratio (E) , formic acid to lactic acid ratio (F) , formic acid to acetic acid ratio (G) , and ethanol to lactic acid ratio (H) . All panels represent B. infantis ATCC15697 growing on mMRS medium containing 2% (wt/v) galactose (Gal), lactose (Lac), lacto- N -tetraose (LNT), or lacto- N -neotetraose (LNnT). Averages from independent biological replicates (triplicate or more) are shown with bars representing standard deviations of the means. The values for organic acid production are expressed in millimolar (mM) absolute concentration. A single asterisk (*) denotes significant differences between metabolite production evaluated by one-way ANOVA and Tukey's multiple comparison test ( p < 0.05).
