The atomic force microscope (AFM) is not only a tool to image the topography of solid
surfaces at high resolution. It can also be used to measure force-versus-distance curves …

Monomolecular arrays of protein or glycoprotein subunits forming surface layers (S-layers)
are one of the most commonly observed prokaryotic cell envelope components. S-layers are …

Bacterial surface (S) layers are the outermost proteinaceous cell envelope structures found
on members of nearly all taxonomic groups of bacteria and Archaea. They are composed of …

The gut microbiota can significantly affect the function of the intestinal barrier. Some
intestinal probiotics (such as Lactobacillus, Bifidobacteria, a few Escherichia coli strains, and …

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 …

The use of live probiotic bacteria as food supplement has become popular. Capability of
probiotic bacteria to be kept at room temperature becomes necessary for customer's …

The bacterial strain HDE-9 was isolated from sauerkraut and identified as Levilactobacillus
