H. Almakhlafi et al., ADHESION OF LISTERIA-MONOCYTOGENES TO SILICA SURFACES AFTER SEQUENTIAL AND COMPETITIVE ADSORPTION OF BOVINE SERUM-ALBUMIN AND BETA-LACTOGLOBULIN, Applied and environmental microbiology, 61(5), 1995, pp. 2013-2015
Adsorbed bovine serum albumin was resistant to exchange with beta-lact
oglobulin, and when albumin was adsorbed from a mixture, its surface c
oncentration increased with time. The passivating character of adsorbe
d albumin and its resistance to desorption were consistent with the le
vel of Listeria monocytogenes adhesion evoked by albumin-containing pr
otein films.
