Effect of environmental conditions on the binding to mucin MUC2.
| Bacteria | Binding to mucin (%) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| H₂0 (%) | Acid pH (%) | 7H9 (%) | |
| M. avium 104 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| M. avium 3388 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
M. avium (strains 104 and 3388) was incubated in H20 (overnight) or HBSS pH 4.0 (for 2 h); the number of bacteria was adjusted to 105 organisms, and binding was performed to agar/mucin. M. avium collected in the 7H9 broth was used as a control.
