Figure Lengend Snippet: Gut bacterial growth (A) and SCFA production (B) in the GNB medium. Gut bacterial species were cultured in woC medium (negative control), Glc medium (positive control), or GNB medium for 2 days. To evaluate the growth ability of each bacterium for GNB, the value of the OD600 ratio was obtained by dividing the average of growth (OD600) in the GNB medium or the Glc medium by that of the woC medium (n = 3). Data represent means ± standard deviation.

Article Snippet: Gut bacterial species, which were previously reported as human gut bacterial species , were obtained from the Japan Collection of Microorganisms (JCM, RIKEN Bioresource Center, Tsukuba, Japan).

Figure Lengend Snippet: qPCR primers, efficiency, and detection limits for all bacterial species .

Article Snippet: All other bacterial species used for qPCR probe and primer specificity assessment were either obtained from the NCIMB collection (National Collection of Industrial, Marine and Food Bacteria, UK), the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA), or were isolated from Canadian Cheddar cheese samples (Table ).

Techniques: Amplification, Concentration Assay
