A Single-Batch Fermentation System to Simulate Human Colonic Microbiota for High-Throughput Evaluation of Prebiotics
Fig 4
(A) Ratios of acetate, propionate, and butyrate in three human volunteers’ feces (F37-1: female, age 37; F37-2: female, age 37; and M54: male, age 54) and corresponding cultures at 24 h after the initiation of fermentation. (B) Time-dependent change of concentrations of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in single-batch fermentation cultures.
Values of the ratios are shown as the percentage of the sum of acetate, propionate, and butyrate concentrations.
