The redox potential interferes with the expression of laminin binding molecules in Bacteroides fragilis

The redox potential interferes with the expression of laminin binding molecules in Bacteroides fragilis

The Bacteroides fragilis ATCC strain was grown in a synthetic media with contrasting redox potential (Eh) levels [reduced (-60 mV) or oxidised (+100mV)] and their adhesion capacity to extracellular matrix components was evaluated. The strain was capable of adhering to laminin, fibronectin, fibronect...
