The Gram-positive lactic acid bacterium Lactobacillus buchneri CD034 is covered by a two-
dimensional crystalline, glycoproteinaceous cell surface (S-) layer lattice. While lactobacilli …

Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is a cell surface molecule specific to Gram-positive bacteria. How
LTA localises on the cell surface is a fundamental issue in view of recognition and …

Background Lactobacillus brevis ATCC 8287 is covered by a regular surface (S-) layer
consisting of a 435 amino acid protein SlpA. This protein is completely unrelated in …

The surface layer (S-layer) protein of Lactobacillus acidophilus is a crystalline array of self-
assembling, proteinaceous subunits non-covalently bound to the outmost bacterial cell wall …

Cell surface hydrophobicity is one of the most important factors controlling adhesion of
microorganisms to surfaces. In this paper, cell surface properties of lactobacilli and …

A variety of strains of the genus Lactobacillus was investigated with respect to the structure,
softness, and interactions of their outer surface layers in order to construct structure-property …

Surface (S-) layers are crystalline arrays of proteinaceous subunits present as the outermost
component of cell wall in several species of the genus Lactobacillus, as well as in many …

S-layers are crystalline arrays found on bacterial and archaeal cells. Lactobacillus is a
diverse family of bacteria known especially for potential gut health benefits. This study …

The surface-layer (S-layer) protein of Lactobacillus acidophilus is a crystalline array of self-
assembling subunits, non-covalently bound to the most outer cell wall envelope, which …

Lactobacillus brevis is a promising lactic acid bacterium for use as a probiotic dietary adjunct
and a vaccine vector. The N-terminal region of the S-layer protein (SlpA) of L. brevis ATCC …
