Triton X-114 solubility of different cell-associated and secreted PPAD species. P. gingivalis isolates were cultured in BHI, and the cell and growth medium fractions were separated by centrifugation. Subsequently, both fractions were extracted with Triton X-114. Upon phase separation at 37 °C, proteins in the different detergent-rich (T) and aqueous (A) phases were analyzed by LDS-PAGE and Western blotting with PPAD-specific antibodies. Names of PPAD sorting type I isolates are underlined. Molecular weights of marker proteins and different PPAD species are indicated. The full-length blot is presented in Figure S1.
