Abstract: The surface layers protein (SLP) is a major composition of the bacterial outermost envelope with highly ordered ultrastructure. The Lactobacillus brevis which isolated from Mongolian traditional dairy products were used as materials in this study. The S-layer proteins from several Lactobacillus were detected by SDS-PAGE and slp gene was cloned by PCR and then analyzed the slp gene sequence of Lactobacillus breris. The results showed that the protein sample of Lactobacillus breris showed target band about 44 to 55 ku which had the same size range of SLP that had been reported,and slp gene about 1300 bp was amplified by PCR method. The DNAStar software found that the protein had recently kinship and genetic distance with L.gallinarum strain (GenBank:AY597266.1) and was similar to other Lactobacillus spp. The theoretical size of S-layer protein was about 47 ku released by the Genetyx software and had significant feature of outer membrane proteins. This layed foundation for genetic modification and other research work.
