Introduction Methodology part The aim of this study was to examine the ability of fecal microbiota derived from UC patients in either remission or relapse, and healthy subjects to colonize an artificial mucus layer using a dynamic in vitro gut model. Flow diagram Paper 2 The author, Louise K. Vigsnæs, participated in the design of the study, conducted the experiments, performed the data analyzes and drafted the manuscript. The manuscript is still in a preliminary state. The following analyzes and data treatments will be added in the final version: • Growth curves for sixteen different bacterial taxa (see flow diagram): Samples were taken out at 0, 18, 26 and 42 hours from the lumen. Louise K. Vigsnæs is conducting these analyzes. • SCFA analysis for acetate, butyrate and propionate: Samples were taken out at 0, 1.5, 3, 5, 18, 20, 22, 23.5, 25, and 42 hours. Louise K. Vigsnæs and Pieter Van den Abbeele are conducting these analyzes. • Mass spectrometry (MS) on samples from the lumen and mucus (42 hours). Karolina Sulek is conducting the MS. 70
