Lactobacilli are commonly used as probiotics because of their health promoting effects.. In this study, 64 indigenous lactobacilli isolates were used for identified at genus and species level and screened for their probiotic attributes. This was followed with screening of isolates for their adhesion capability to ECM components (human type-1 collagen, mucin and fibronectin) immobilized on microtitter plates. In separate experiments cloning and characterization of cbp gene and isolation, purification and characterization of cbp protein was done and finally in vitro adhesion of L. plantarum...
