Degradation of CS by B. salyersiae CSP6. Colony forming units (CFUs) of B. salyersiae CSP6, B. finegoldii B36-12, and B. thetaiotaomicron E1-7 grew in the culture medium containing CS as the major carbon source (A). TLC showing the degradation of CS by B. salyersiae CSP6 (B). Concentrations of different SCFAs in the culture medium of B. salyersiae CSP6 (C). UPLC-MS/MS analysis of CSOSs produced by B. salyersiae CSP6 (D). Total ion chromatograms showing the elution profiles of CSOSs in the culture medium of B. salyersiae CSP6 at different time points (E).
