Fig 1. Probing of fucose and mannose residues on L. rhamnosus GG pili using AFM.

Fig 1

Fig 1A and 1C depict the adhesion forces and Fig 1B and 1D the rupture length histograms (n = 1024) obtained in buffer, from the interaction between L. rhamnosus GG wild type and fucose- and mannose-binding lectin probes (AAL and HHA resp.). In Fig 1E and 1F the force data for the interaction of a pili-deficient ΔspaCBA::TcR mutant (CMPG5357) with the two lectin probes are displayed. Insets show representative retraction force curves.
