From: Microencapsulated phages show prolonged stability in gastrointestinal environments and high therapeutic efficiency to treat Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection

Figure 2

Stability of microencapsulated phages under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. Effects of SGF on A free phages and B microencapsulated phages. Stability of C free phages and D microencapsulated phage in BSs. Stability of E free phages and F the release of microencapsulated phages in SIF. Each value in the figure represents the mean  ±  SD (n  =  3). The stability of the free and microencapsulated phages in SGF, BSs or SIF and the release rate of the microencapsulated phages in SIF were tested by calculating the titre of the phages at different time points after incubation in SGF, BSs or SIF. Each assay was carried out in triplicate.
