Genes encoding for intestinal mucus adhesion factors in lactobacillus mucosae strains isolated from brazilian goat milk.
Molecular biology can be outstanding tool in the selection of probiotic candidates, based on the detection of genetic factors related to the beneficial properties of studied lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Surface proteins with mucus-binding capacity mediate the adherence of LAB to the intestine and are desirable feature for probiotic bacteria, as they can increase persistence and ability of LAB to colonize the intestine. In order to investigate mucus adhesion properties, the presence of genes encoding for adhesion proteins were investigated in three Lactobacillus mucosae strains isolated from goat milk.
