Growth of B. thetaiotaomicron (Bt) and B. ovatus (Bo) on glycans and monosaccharides.

Growth measurements are described in Materials and Methods; values in superscript represent one standard deviation of 6 replicate measurements.aGlycans for which the growth rate or density of one strain was significantly greater than the other (p valuet test).bSubstrates on which Bt was transcriptionally profiled.cSubstrates on which Bo was transcriptionally profiled.
