From: Bistable auto-aggregation phenotype in Lactiplantibacillus plantarum emerges after cultivation in in vitro colonic microbiota

Fig. 2

Influence of different microbiota, biofilm and starvation on L. plantarum auto-aggregation percentage. L. plantarum strains were recovered from four different in vitro human adult colonic microbiota. A Auto-aggregation percentage of L. plantarum strains recovered after 10 days of cultivation in reactors inoculated with colonic microbiota from four different donors. Each data point represents auto-aggregation percentage in one reactor. B Auto-aggregation percentage of L. plantarum strains recovered from five reactors inoculated with microbiota of donor 2 over time and from reactor biofilms (BF). C Auto-aggregation percentage of L. plantarum recovered from five reactors containing colonic microbiota of donor 3. D Auto-aggregation percentage at the day before and one day after starvation of the microbiota of donor 4 (Starv)
