Fig. 3From: Species-targeted sorting and cultivation of commensal bacteria from the gut microbiome using flow cytometry under anaerobic conditionsImpact of sorting under anaerobic or atmospheric conditions on F. prausnitzii recovery. Fresh cultures of the 3 F.prausnitzii reference strains were sorted on mGAM plates in anaerobic (left) or atmospheric (right) conditions. Increasing (1 to 1000) amounts of bacteria were sorted and plated on each spot. Colonies were stained with crystal violet for better visualization of tiny colonies (black arrows). Experiments were repeated at least 3 timesBack to article page
