Table 2 Total concentrations of co-cultures grown on xylan and glucose measured via lyophilization (left) and calculated using the individual species absorbance measurements (Fig. 6; Additional file 6) and the absorbance/concentration correlations in Table 1 (right)

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
