Fig. 3From: Comparative genomic and metabolic analysis of three Lactobacillus paracasei cheese isolates reveals considerable genomic differences in strains from the same nicheCarbohydrate utilisation. Growth of three strains of Lactobacillus paracasei in modified MRS (MMRS) supplemented with a single sugar in concentration 1 % (w/v) and incubated over 48 h at 30°C. Bars represent OD600nm at the end of 48 h. Bars for the same sugar sharing the same asterix symbol show no statistical difference in growth (P > 0.05), after mean comparison by performing One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by Least Significant Test (LSD). The dashed line presents limit of OD600nm=0.5 which was used as a lower limit of growth in the presence of a carbohydrate. Legend: DPC2071 DPC4206 DPC4536Back to article page
