Probiotics : the scientific basis

R. Fuller
TL;DR: The immune state genetic manipulation of gut micro-organisms selection of strains for probiotic use and the indigenous gut flora gut flora and disease resistance factors affecting the microecology of the gut probiotics are studied.

Adhesion and aggregation ability of probiotic strain Lactobacillus acidophilus M92

TL;DR: In this paper, a probiotic strain L. acidophilus M92 was examined for autoaggregation ability and cell surface hydrophobicity, which suggests the possible role of cell surface layer (S-layer) proteins, approximated at 45 kDa.
