Fig. 1. Effect of multilayer coating on adhesion ability and proliferation of LAB strains in HT-29 cell lines and mucin-coated well plates.
Comparison of adhesion ability in relation to the initial number of LF, RE, and LC at adhesion (2 h) and proliferation (24 h) in (A) HT-29 cell lines, and (B) mucin-coated well plates. Groups were compared using an unpaired t-test (n = 4; *p<0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001).
