Soybean Lectin Enhances Biofilm Formation by Bradyrhizobium japonicum in the Absence of Plants

Soybean lectin (SBL) purified from soybean seeds by affinity chromatography strongly bound to Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 110 cell surface. This lectin enhanced biofilm formation by B. japonicum in a concentration-dependent manner. Presence of galactose during biofilm formation had different effec...
