Screening of materials that cause the aggregation of Lactobacillus brevis was conducted in order to elucidate the adhesion and the aggregation mechanism of lactic acid bacteria, which involved in such as expression of pro biotic effects of the bacteria. In addition to xylan and mucin, it was found that the macromolecules, especially to polysaccharides as dextran, polygalacturonic acid, pectin, and also DNA, could cause the aggregation of the strains. Furthermore, it was revealed that the autoaggregation was occurred by addition of fermentable sugars such as glucose and sucrose.
