Figure 3

Growth and metabolic profiles of static verses agitated cultures. Growth curves (A, C, E, G) and HPLC analysis (B, D, F, H) of cultures containing 0.5% glucose (A, B), 0.5% gluconate (C, D), 0.5% galacturonate (E, F), and 0.75% galacturonate (G, H). Growth curve graphs for cultures grown with agitation are shown with grey squares and solid grey lines, and static cultures with black circles and solid black lines. In HPLC graphs hexose and hexose derivatives are shown with solid lines, acetate with dashed lines, and butyrate with dotted lines. Error bars represent +/- one standard deviation from three replicate cultures.
