Fig. 1.
Analysis of fermentation products.
A) The comparison of metabolites was determined by HPLC in the experimental group (EG) and control check (CK); 1 – pyruvic acid, 2 – lactic acid, 3 – acetic acid, 4 – pyruvate dimer, 5 – unknown, 6 – citric acid, 7 – succinic acid B) The concentration of organic acid and biomass of EG and CK. Each value is the mean for three replicates, with vertical bars indicating standard errors. The lower-case letters at each time point indicate a significant difference at p ≤ 0.05 by Duncans multiple range tests.

Fig. 2.
Scatter plot of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment for DEGs between CK and EG. Rich factor refers to the ratio of the number of genes annotated to the pathway in the DEGs to the total number of genes located at the pathway among all annotated.

Relative expression levels of 12 DEGs when a reference gene 16S rDNA was used for normalization.
Different lowercase letters in the table show significant differences (p < 0.05).
