Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) degradation by typical oral bacteria. Eight typical oral bacterial species from different genera were grown on the center of the halo-forming minimal medium plate containing heparin (HP) (left), chondroitin sulfate C (CSC) (middle), or hyaluronan (HA) (right). After full growth on the medium plate (left), acetic acid was spread onto the plate for halo formation (right). Bar, 1 cm. Only N. mucosa degraded HP. P. goodfellowii and T. denticola degraded CSC and HA.
