Fig. 2. Examples of the qualitative effect of glue proteins from L.
irrorata on gel mechanics. Samples were mixed in a microcentrifuge tube
and poured or scooped out. Samples with glue proteins (0.51 mg
ml1) are on the right (Adhesive). Samples with the same
concentration of BSA are on the left (Control). (A) 0.6% agar, (B) 2%
polygalacturonic acid.
