Fig. 1From: The local transcriptional regulators SacR1 and SacR2 act as repressors of fructooligosaccharides metabolism in Lactobacillus plantarumGrowth curves of the wild-type and mutant strains (ΔsacR1 and ΔsacR2) of L. plantarum ST-III in CDM containing glucose, FOS or GOS. Sampling point was chosen for the metabolite and RT-qPCR analysis. The for each condition was also calculated and shown in the figure. Data presented are mean values based on two replicate fermentations. Error bars indicate standard deviations. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) of the corresponding μmax values obtained from mutant strains compared with the wild-typeBack to article page
