From: Non-destructive quantification of anaerobic gut fungi and methanogens in co-culture reveals increased fungal growth rate and changes in metabolic flux relative to mono-culture

Fig. 6

Total culture absorbance (A), M. thaueri fluorescence + absorbance (B), C. churrovis concentration (C) and accumulated pressure (D) curves show that both the growth rate of C. churrovis and the rate of gas production are significantly increased in co-cultures with M. thaueri grown on xylan, relative to mono-cultures. Panel B shows the divergence of M. thaueri fluorescence relative to absorbance in stationary phase also observed in mono-culture; the absorbance of the methanogen was assumed to remain constant after the absorbance of the co-culture stopped increasing (96 h and after). Dotted lines represent the 95% confidence interval of each regression. The p-values in panels C and D represents a test for significant difference in the values of the slopes of the two regressions
