Figure 5From: Inhibition of pathogenic and spoilage bacteria by a novel biofilm-forming Lactobacillus isolate: a potential host for the expression of heterologous proteinsNumber of viable Lactobacillus plantarum PA21 cells recovered from biofilm and planktonic cultures after contact with pathogens and food spoilage bacteria. Viable counts of Lb. plantarum PA21 biofilm cells (a), biofilm shed planktonic cells (b) and wild-type planktonic cells (c) were measured in co-cultures with Salmonella enterica, Pseudomonas fluorescens ATCC 13525, Aeromonas hydrophila ATCC 7965 and Bacillus cereus. Error bars indicate standard deviations of three independent experiments.Back to article page
