Notes:

Standardized effects (evaluated as the ratio of the mathematical coefficient of each factor and its standard error) of pH, temperature, cellular growth phase, agitation and presence of surfactants on biofilm formation by the selected probiotics (B. infantis DSM20088 and L. reuteri DSM20016).

a

Not significant;

b

Mean square residual;

c
