Nutrient digestibility was assessed through the use of internal (acid detergent insoluble ash, ADIA) and external (Titanium IV Dioxide, rutile; Sigma–Aldrich) markers. On d 27, baseline fecal samples were collected. From d 28 to 41, 5 g of titanium dioxide (TiO2) was mixed into each concentrate meal. After a 10-d supplementation period, feces were collected from d 38 to 41 of the study. To account for diurnal variation of marker concentration, feces were collected twice daily at 12-h intervals, advancing by 3 h each subsequent day, which resulted in 8 fecal samples per mare over a 4-d collection period. After each collection time point, a 200 to 400 g sample of feces was stored at −20 °C before analysis.
To prepare samples for analysis, feces, hay, and grain were dried in a forced air oven at 55 °C for 96 h and allowed to equilibrate to room temperature for 24 h. All samples were weighed before and after the drying process to determine partial dry matter (DM) percentage. Samples were ground in a Wiley mill through a 1 mm screen. To determine overall DM percentage, samples were exposed to a 105 °C drying oven for 24 h. Similarly, to determine organic matter (OM) percentage, difference in sample weight was measured before and after exposure to a combustion oven at 450 °C for 8 h. The NDF and ADF values were determined by the Ankom Fiber Analyzer with sodium sulfite and α-amylase admitted and without correction for residual ash (Ankom Technology Corp., Macedon, NY). A Parr 6300 Calorimeter (Parr Instrument Company, Moline, IL) was used to measure gross heat energy (GE) for hay, grain, and fecal samples.
Forage consumption was estimated by TiO2 analysis following a previously established protocol (Myers et al., 2004 (link)). Concentrate, hay, and fecal samples were ashed at 450 °C for 12 h then exposed to concentrated sulfuric acid (95% to 98% w/w) for 2 h before the addition of 30% hydrogen peroxide solution. Samples were digested at 350 °C for 45 min in a SCP digester. Absorbance at 410 nm was measured and compared with standards of 10, 8, 6, 4, or 2 mg TiO2 per 50 g solution. The following calculations were used to estimate voluntary DMI of nutrients in the diet: mg TiO2 / g = (mg TiO2 sample / g sample) − (mg TiO2 baseline / g sample); fecal output (kg/d) = (10 g/d TiO2) / ([TiO2] feces (g/kg), where [TiO2] indicates concentration of TiO2 in the feces; and DMI (kg/d) = fecal output (kg/d) × ([ADIA] feces/[ADIA] feed), where [ADIA] indicates concentration of ADIA.

Cellulase was produced in a 500 mL flask that contained 100 mL of fluid medium through a two-step cultivation procedure. Strains were first grown at 30°C in 100 mL of medium that contained 2 g of glucose as a carbon source and were then regulated at pH 5.5 and 200 rpm for 20 hours. The cultures were collected through vacuum drum filtration during this second step, and 0.5 g vegetative mycelia was added to 100 mL of Vogel’s medium that contained 2% cellulose as carbon source or wheat bran medium at an initial pH of 5.5 at 30°C and 200 rpm. Culture supernatants (crude enzyme) were diluted with sodium acetate buffer solution (SABF, 0.2 M, pH 4.8). Enzymatic hydrolyses of the polysaccharides were also performed in SABF (0.2 M, pH 4.8). The filter paper enzyme (FPA), endoglucanase (CMCase), xylanase, and amylase activities of the culture supernatants (diluted samples) were assayed using a DNS reagent (10 g 3, 5-dinitrosalicylic acid, 20 g sodium hydroxide, 200 g sodium potassium tartrate, 2.0 g redistilled phenol, and 0.50 g sodium sulfite anhydrous per 1000 mL DNS reagent) against Whatman No. 1 filter paper, carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt (CMC-Na), xylan (from beechwood), and soluble starch. CMC-Na, xylan, or starch was dissolved in SABF to a final concentration of 1% (mass/volume percent, m/v %), and then the mixture was left overnight and was shaken well before using. The following components were added in a 2.0 mL reaction mixture: 0.5 mL diluted culture supernatants and 1.5 mL CMC-Na, xylan, or starch solution for CMCase, xylanase, or amylase activity assays, respectively; and 2.0 mL diluted culture supernatants and 50 mg Whatman No. 1 filter paper for FPA assay into 25 mL colorimetric tube. The mixture was mixed gently and the reaction mixture was incubated for FPA measurement in a 50°C water bath for 1 hour, for CMCase and xylanase activity measurements at 50°C for 30 min, and for amylase activity measurement at 40°C for 10 min. Three milliliters of DNS reagent were then added to stop the reaction. A blank tube (with boiled crude enzyme) was used as control to correct any reducing sugar present in the crude enzyme samples. The tubes were placed in boiling water for 10 min, 20 mL distilled water was added, 200 μL of reaction mixture was pipetted, and the absorbance was determined at 540 nm. The cellobiohydrolase (pNPCase) and β-glucosidase (pNPGase) activities were measured by using 4-Nitrophenyl β-D-cellobioside (pNPC) and 4-Nitrophenyl β-D-glucopyranoside (pNPG) as substrates, respectively. The pNPC or pNPG was dissolved in SABF to a final concentration of 1 mg/mL. Moreover, 50 μL of pNPC solution (containing 1 mg/mL D-Glucono-δ-lactone) or 50 μL of pNPG solution and 100 μL of diluted culture supernatants were mixed, and then the mixtures were incubated in a 50°C water bath for 30 min. The reaction was stopped by adding 0.15 mL of sodium carbonate solution (10%, m/v), then 200 μL of these reaction mixtures was pipetted, and the absorbance was measured at 420 nm. One unit of enzyme activity was defined as the amount of enzyme required to release 1 μmol of glycoside bonds of the substrate per minute under defined assay conditions. Independent triplicate cultures were sampled and analyzed.
The total protein was determined using a Bradford assay kit according to the instructions of the manufacturer.

Details of device fabrication and cell culture can be found in the Electronic Supporting Information (S1 and S2). The Visisens handheld microscope was mounted vertically in a variable incubator and the microfluidic devices (bonded to sensor foils and filled with collagen gel and cells) were placed on top. The oxygen partial pressure in the device was monitored in the central 5 by 2.5 mm2 area including the gel and adjoining media channels. All oxygen measurements were evaluated using the Visisens software (AnalytiCal 1, VA 1.11 prototype version) after calibration against two reference solutions. Oxygen-free solution was prepared by dissolving 1 g of sodium sulfite in 100 ml water with 50 ul of Co(NO3)2 standard solution (1g l−1 in 0.5 M nitric acid). Water bubbled with air for 30 min was used as a second calibration point (air-saturated). Due to the opaqueness of the oxygen-sensitive coating, control devices with a glass coverslip bottom were fabricated to facilitate visualization of cell morphology and distribution (Fig. S1). Excellent viability over 2 days of culture in all devices was observed, confirming earlier results with human endothelial cells.25 (link) Phase-contrast images were taken with a CCD color digital camera (Olympus DP72, Japan) connected to an inverted Olympus IX71 microscope. Images were captured with DP2 BSW Software (version 2.2) and analyzed by ImageJ software (Scion Corp., USA).
The oxygen consumption in the devices during EC or HEP culture was simulated using a commercial finite element software (COMSOL Multiphysics v4.2). Transport of diluted species equation (Fick’s law) was adopted as the governing equation, considering the molar concentration of oxygen c as dependent variable. The computational mesh consisted of ~1.8×106 tetrahedral elements with a total volume of 410 mm3. To reduce the calculation time, only a quarter of the device was considered by imposing a symmetry condition on the two cutting planes. The cells were represented as a thin (10 μm) layer on top of the PDMS glue layer. A no-flux condition was implemented to represent the impermeable oxygen sensor foil. A constant concentration of oxygen (17%) was considered as boundary condition on the surfaces exposed to the external environment (fluid channel and gel injection inlet). A time dependent simulation was solved for a period of 4 h at 10 min intervals. The diffusion coefficients and initial oxygen concentration in the different materials are summarized below.

Mice were exposed to CMC, P80 or sodium sulfite diluted in the drinking water (1.0% or indicated concentration) (not blinded). The same water (reverse-osmosis treated Atlanta city water) was used for the water-treated (control) group. These solutions were changed every week. Emulsifier solutions were autoclaved for experiments presented in figure 4A-H. When required, emulsifier solutions were replaced by water after 8 weeks of treatment for an additional 6 weeks. Body weights were measured every week and are expressed as % compare to the initial body weight (day 0) defined as 100%. Mice developing colitis (Lcn2 level ≥ 500 ng/g of feces) were excluded for metabolic syndrome parameters analysis. Fresh feces were collected every week for downstream analysis. After 3 months of emulsifier treatment, mice were fasted for 5-h at which time blood was collected by retrobulbar intraorbital capillary plexus. Hemolysis-free serum was generated by centrifugation of blood using serum separator tubes (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ). Mice were then euthanized, and colon length, colon weight, spleen weight and adipose weight were measure. Organs were collected for downstream analysis. Incorporation of CMC and P80 in the diet was performed by Research Diets Inc. (New Brunswick, NJ, USA) using Purina Rodent Chow diet #5001. These diets are now referenced by Research Diets as C13050701 and C13050702, respectively.

GL-sulfite pretreatment was carried out in a 200 mL polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) reactor after steam pretreatment. Briefly, 10 g of dried SE treated bamboo was mixed directly with 150 mL of water containing different GL loadings (3–12 mL per g-DS (dry substrate)) and 6 g of sodium sulfite was added to the mixtures. Then the reactor was loaded in a large stainless steel tank and fixed well. The system including reactor and stainless steel tank was placed in a chamber equipped with a shaft. The whole system was heated to desired temperature (e.g. 80 °C, 100 °C and 120 °C) with an average rate of 5 °C min−1. Moreover, one control pretreatment without sodium sulfite (with only addition of 7.5 mL per g-DS GL) were also performed at 100 °C. After 1 h, the insoluble residues were collected by filtration and washed with distilled water until neutral pH. Some of the washed samples were dried in an oven at 105 °C for 6 h to evaluate the yield.
The composition percentage of pretreated bamboos based on the initial bamboos can be obtained by multiplying the yield by the percentage of each component of GL pretreated bamboos.
