Biofilm formation and adhesion to HUVECs by L. paracasei strains ATCC25302 and LP10266. A) Scanning electron microscopic images of L. paracasei ATCC25302 and L. paracasei LP10266. B) Representation of the results of semi-quantitative adherence assay performed in 96-well polystyrene microtiter plates. Symbols “***” indicate the statistically significant difference between L. paracasei ATCC25302 and L. paracasei LP10266 (p < 0.001). C) Adherence of L. paracasei LP10266 and L. paracasei ATCC25302 to HUVECs. Data represent the percentages of adherent cells of the initial bacterial inoculum. Symbles “***” indicate the statistically significant difference between L. paracasei LP10266 and L.paracasei ATCC25302 (p < 0.001). Data are presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean of three independent experiments
