Adhesion ability of bifidobacteria to the intestinal mucosa is considered to be the prerequisite for colonization of bifidobacteria and can protect against gastrointestinal pathogens infection. The aim of this study was to investigate bifidobacterial surface traits related to adhesion ability in vitro and characterize the cell surface substances that may be involved in the adhesion process of bifidobacteria. Twelve strains of Bifidobacterium spp. were studied for the correlation among their adhesion ability, autoaggregation ability and surface hydrophobicity. The strain that exhibited good adhesion ability also showed high degree of hydrophobicity and strong autoaggregation ability. Pepsin treatment had negative effect on the surface traits and adhesion ability of B. bifidum KLDS2.0603 (P < 0.01), it revealed that hydrophobicity, autoaggregation and adhesion process maybe mediated by proteinaceous components on the surface of cell. Moreover, the adhesion and autoaggregation ability decreased after extraction of B. bifidum KLDS2.0603 with 5 mol l(-1) LiCl, and an unreported 50-kDa surface protein which can bind to Caco-2 cell was observed by western blotting. Our results indicated that surface hydrophobicity and autoaggregation ability can be used together for preliminary screening the strains with high adhesion ability, and the present of the surface proteinaceous components would contribute to understand the interactions between bifidobacteria and human intestinal mucosa.
