Adhesion efficiency of the fixed bacteria before degycosylation and after deglycosylation. LKL 53A, L. rhamnosus KL 53A, LcF, L. casei Fyos. The bars represent average percentages of bacterial cells that adhered to differentiated Caco-2 enterocytes, the whiskers represent average adhesion ± standard error.

Normalized to 100% adhesion efficiency of L. casei Fyos grown in the presence of glycosidase inhibitors: castanospermine (Cas), deoxymannojirimycin hydrochloride (dMM), swainsonine (Swa), kifunensine (Kif), deoxynojirimycin hydrochloride (dNM) and without inhibitor (contr). The bars represent average percentages of bacterial cells that adhered to differentiated Caco-2 enterocytes, the whiskers represent average adhesion ± standard error. Statistically significant changes (p < 0.05) are marked with asterisks (*).
