Role of luxS in Stress Tolerance and Adhesion Ability in Lactobacillus plantarum KLDS1.0391

Figure 7

Transit tolerance of the L. plantarum KLDS1.0391 wild-type strain (black bar) and the luxS mutant strain (grey bar) in simulated digestive juice. The tolerance ability has been expressed in terms of mean ± SD (). < 0.05. Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3 were digested in saliva, saliva + gastric juice, and saliva + gastric juice + gastrointestinal tract, respectively.
