Fig. 7From: Lyophilized alginate-based microspheres containing Lactobacillus fermentum D12, an exopolysaccharides producer, contribute to the strain’s functionality in vitroSurvival of alginate microencapsulated L. fermentum D12 cells with prebiotics, during 1-year storage at 4 °C with the addition of different prebiotics: inulin with fructooligosaccharides (FOS), mannitol, lactulose; and without prebiotics. The results are expressed as mean values of three independent experiments and error bars represent standard deviationsBack to article page
