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. 7

Metabolite profiles for mono- and co-cultures grown on xylan reveal significantly faster xylan degradation in co-culture (panel I), negligible hydrogen and formate accumulation in co-culture (panels C and G), greater lactate production in mono-culture (panel E), greater acetate, succinate, and ethanol production in co-culture (panels A, D, and F, respectively), and less accumulation of fumarate in co-culture (panel B). Metabolite concentrations at 24 and 43 h shown here were used to calculate fluxes of each metabolite. Dotted lines represent the 95% confidence interval of each regression. The p-value in panel I represents a test for significant difference in the values of the slopes of the two regressions
