Pilus and mucus binding of P. freudenreichii. a Pilus operons predicted by LOCP. b Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of the strains with intact operons (JS18 and JS20) and control (JS16). c Adhesion assay of specific binding to porcine mucus and non-specific binding to BSA with cell-free PBS as control. The difference in specific binding of strain JS18 to mucus compared to non-specific binding to BSA and background PBS was statistically significant (p < 0.05) and is marked with asterisk
