Impact of environmental and genetic factors on biofilm formation by the probiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG
Article Abstract:
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG has formed biofilms on abiotic surfaces, in contrast to other strains of the Lactobacillus cesei group tested under the same conditions. Microtiter plate biofilm assays have indicated that in vitro biofilm formation is modulated by culture medium factors and conditions related to the gastrointestinal environment.
