摘要: Biosurfactants produced by Lactobacillus fermentum RC-14, L. rhamnosus GR-1 and 36, casei Shirota were found to contain proteins that bind both collagen types III VI, as determined surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization (SELDI)–time of flight mass spectrometry. Both VI immobilized on SELDI preactivated ProteinChip arrays detected several different sizes (2 48 kDa) collagen-binding proteins. Overall, the RC-14-produced biosurfactant contained greatest number (RC-14 > 36 Shirota), including mature form a previously cloned 29-kDa protein (referred in its 26-kDa form). Although biosurfactants isolated from also proteins, they do not protein. Together, these results demonstrate utility system means rapidly characterizing clinically important but complex solutions.
