Fig. 2From: Validation of a batch cultivation protocol for fecal microbiota of Kenyan infantsMicrobiota composition and metabolite profile of fresh feces based on 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and HPLC analysis. Relative abundance on genus level (“other”: <1%) (A). PCoA of binary and weighted Jaccard distance comparing fresh and stabilized feces (B). The numbers assigned to symbols denote the infant. Relative proportion (left y-axis) and total absolute concentration (right y-axis, circles) of SCFA, BCFA and intermediate fermentation metabolites (C). Averages of technical duplicates are shown except for stabilized feces of infant 08Back to article page
