Values are shown as means ± SEM (N = 3). N, the number of times the experiment was performed. (B) <i>P</i>. <i>fluorescens</i> was incubated with rCsBPI (B1 and B3) or rTrx (B2 and B4), and the cells were treated with anti-His antibody and FITC-labeled secondary antibody. The cells were then examined under a fluorescence microscope with (B3 and B4) or without (B1 and B2) fluorescence light. Bar: 4 μm.</p>
