Abstract
Protein and amino acid composition of bifidus bakteria cell wall is researched (strain Bifidobakterium bifidum I). Cell surface is shown to be a broad group of heterogeneous proteins, which can participate in the process of specific adhesion. Amino acids of a cell wall model can participate as in structure formation of protein and glycopeptide units of cell wall, as in the formation of hydrophobic property areas and charge of bacterial surface, that is responsible for adhesion.
