Fig. 1: Effects of CFS on planktonic bacterial cells.

A Inhibitory effects of CFS at different final concentrations on S. mutans (Tukey test). B Impact of CFS on the growth curve of S. mutans. C Effect of CFS treatment on cell surface hydrophobicity of S. mutans (t test). D Morphological changes of S. mutans treated with CFS (SEM images): a1 and a2, control group (5000× and 20000× magnification); b1 and b2, CFS-treated group (5000× and 20000× magnification). White rectangles indicate the fields selected for 20000× magnification. E Histogram of fluorescence intensity for S. mutans. Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of F CFDA, G DiBAC4(3), and H PI (t test). *** P < 0.001. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences (P < 0.05).
