Autoaggregation and coaggregation abilities of the LAB strain isolated from fermented pineapple.
| Autoaggregation | Coaggregation | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Incubation time (h) | Autoaggregation (%) * | Pathogens | Coaggregation (%) * |
| 2 | 29.87 ± 0.71a | Escherichia coli | 19.14 ± 0.17d |
| 4 | 39.09 ± 0.52b | Micrococcus luteus | 21.98 ± 0.19e |
| 6 | 50.66 ± 0.77c | Bacillus subtilis | 17.32 ± 0.15c |
| 10 | 69.36 ± 0.46d | Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium | 15.72 ± 0.11a |
| 24 | 77.76 ± 0.91e | Pseudomonas aeruginosa | 16.06 ± 0.19b |
*The values are shown as mean ± SD. According to Duncan's multiple range test, means in the same column denoted by various letters (a–e) are substantially different (P ≤ 0.05).
