Figure 1

Effect of different proteases (papain [black bars], trypsin [grey bars], chymotrypsin [dashed gray bars] and pig pancreatic elastase [PPE, squared black bars]) on the serpin production levels in bifidobacteria harboring the serpin encoding gene, after 16 h of growth. The studied strains are B. longum subsp. longum NCC 2705, B. longum subsp longum ATCC 15707 (type strain [T]), B. longum subsp. infantis ATCC 15697 (T), B. longum subsp. suis ATCC 27533 (T) and B. breve ATCC 15700 (T). Serpin levels are expressed relative to the control level (including standard deviations) measured in MRS without addition of proteases. Statistical difference relative to the control cells are indicated; ****p < 0.0001.
