TL;DR: Genome analysis predicted an abundance of large and unusual cell-surface proteins, including fimbrial subunits, which may be involved in adhesion to glycoproteins or other components of mucin, a characteristic expected to affect persistence in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT).

TL;DR: In vitro results indicate that EF-Tu, through its binding to the intestinal mucosa, might participate in gut homeostasis, and it is determined that itsbinding to intestinal cells and to mucins is pH dependent.

TL;DR: Investigation of a new class of food-grade particles, whey protein microgels, as stabilisers of triglyceride-water emulsions suggests that some particles spread at the interface leading to the formation of a continuous protein membrane.

TL;DR: Results showed that the mechanism of adhesion of L. johnsonii La1 to human Caco-2 cells involves LTA, and the monoclonal antibody technique was used as a tool to determine differences on the surface of these bacteria and to identify a factor for adhesion.

TL;DR: Whey protein isolate was heat-treated at 85 degrees C for 15 min at pH ranging from 6.0 to 7.0 in the presence of NaCl in order to generate the highest possible amount of soluble aggregates before insolubility occurred, and these aggregates exhibited the highest foamability and foam liquid stability.
