Fig 1.
Growth curves of L. acidophilus in control conditions and in the presence of rutin.
(A) Growth curves of L. acidophilus obtained by plate counting. (B) Growth curves of L. acidophilus obtained measuring the optical density at 600 nm. Arrows indicate the times of bacterial cell collection for the further proteomic analyses. Values are the means of four independent experiments.

Representative 2-DE gels of L. acidophilus proteome.
(A) 2-DE gel obtained from the proteome of L. acidophilus grown under control conditions. (B) 2-DE gel obtained from the proteome of L. acidophilus grown in the presence of rutin. Spots exhibiting significant differences in mean intensities are indicated.

Fig 3.
Interaction network (as displayed by EMBL STRING) of the identified proteins.
Green lines indicate neighborhood, blue lines indicate co-occurrence, black lines indicate co-expression, purple lines indicate experiments, light blue lines indicate databases and yellow lines indicate text-mining. The network was obtained with a confidence score of 0.600. Main functional modules are circled.
