Extended Data Fig. 2: The effect of muf on low pH resistance and surface adhesion of Smu57.
From: Mutanofactin promotes adhesion and biofilm formation of cariogenic Streptococcus mutans
a, The effect of pH on the growth of Smu57 and its Δmuf mutant. b, Images of early stage biofilms (6-h-old) formed by Smu57 and Δmuf mutant, which were measured to evaluate the adhesion ability of these strains. c, Quantifications of early stage biofilm (6-h-old) formation by Smu57 and its six mutants in biofilm medium by crystal violet biofilm assay (OD 575). Results are presented as mean ± s.d. Data are representative of n = 3 independent experiments. Significance was assessed using one-sided Student’s t-test. a,b, Scale bars, 1 cm.
