Extractable Bacterial Surface Proteins in Probiotic–Host Interaction

Extractable Bacterial Surface Proteins in Probiotic–Host Interaction

Some Gram-positive bacteria, including probiotic ones, are covered with an external proteinaceous layer called a surface-layer. Described as a paracrystalline layer and formed by the self-assembly of a surface-layer-protein (Slp), this optional structure is peculiar. The surface layer per se is cons...
