Figure 8From: Comparative genomic analysis of the gut bacterium Bifidobacterium longum reveals loci susceptible to deletion during pure culture growthSimulated fecal competitive analysis of B. longum DJO10A and its in vitro adapted derivative, strain DJO10A-JH1, against Clostridium difficile and E. coli. (A) Viable cell counts of E. coli DJOec1 at the beginning of the competitive study (black), following competition with B. longum DJO10A-JH1 (horizontal lines) and B. longum DJO10A (hatched). (B) Viable cell counts of C. difficile DJOcd1 at the beginning of the competitive study (black), following competition with B. longum DJO10A-JH1 (horizontal lines) and B. longum DJO10A (hatched).
