From: Surface-associated MUC5B mucins promote protease activity in Lactobacillus fermentum biofilms
Proportion of proteolytically-active Lactobacillus fermentum cells in planktonic and biofilm culture. Graphs showing the percentage of proteolytically active cells in populations of (a) planktonic or (b) biofilm cells of L. fermentum in a MUC5B- or a nutrient broth-environment as revealed using a fluorescent substrate combined with CSLM. The bars represent the mean value of three independent experiments±SE (** p<0.01).
