FIG. 5.
Interaction of cadherin and cadherin-like doublet domains with the S. degradans 2-40 cell surface. The microtiter plates containing attached S. degradans 2-40 cells from minimal medium cultures with different carbon sources (xylan from birch wood, chitin, cellobiose, agar, cellulose, and pectin), were probed with the cadherin (CAHis6) doublet domain from CabC (Sde_3323) and cadherin-like (CADGHis6) doublet domain from CabD (Sde_0798) at incremental concentrations and labeled with mouse anti-His6-horseradish peroxidase antibodies. S. degradans 2-40 cells grown on complete medium containing marine broth, attached to microtiter plates, and probed with the same probes were used as a control. Data are means ± standard deviations for at least three independent determinations.
