Fig. 1. Elution profile of L. irrorata adhesive mucus on a sephacryl S-400
column. The protein peak corresponds to a molecular mass of roughly
10100 kDa and the carbohydrate peak corresponds to roughly 1000 kDa,
based on calibration of the column with BSA (66 kDa), ferritin (440 kDa) and
blue dextran (2000 kDa).
