Resistance to artificial digestive juices of Lactobacillus sakei S1 and adhesion to intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells.
Viable cell counts (CFU/ml) | Auto aggregation (%) | |||
---|---|---|---|---|

Gastric juice | Intestinal juice | Adhesion | ||
L. sakei S1 | 3.0 ± 1.5 × 107 | 1.6 ± 0.5 × 108 | 4.0 ± 1.1× 105 | 45.6 ± 5.5 |
Numbers of L. sakei S1 were counted by plating serial dilutions (in diluted anaerobic broth, pH 7.2) on MRS and BL agars followed by anaerobic incubation at 37°C for 48 h. All values are mean ± SD (n = 6).
