Figure Legend Snippet: Effect of smu_1361c on the growth, biofilm formation, and oxidative tolerance of S. mutans. (A) Growth characteristics of UA159, UA159/pDL278, UA159/pDL278-1361c, and UA159 Δ1361c. Bacteria were grown aerobically at 37°C, and OD600nm was monitored at 30-min intervals for 12 h. (B) The biofilm biomass was determined using crystal violet staining assay when bacteria were cultured in BHIS under aerobic conditions for 6, 12, and 24 h, respectively. The exponential cultures of UA159, UA159/pDL278, UA159/pDL278-1361c, and UA159 Δ1361c were exposed to oxidative stress with 0.2% (66.05 mM) hydrogen peroxide for 0, 20, 40, and 60 min, respectively, which were serially diluted and cultured on the BHI agar plates. The representative pictures of the hydrogen peroxide challenge are shown (C), colony-forming units were counted, and percent survivals of different strains were calculated relative to the control sample UA159 (D). The plates were overlaid with soft agar containing UA159, UA159/pDL278, UA159/pDL278-1361c, and UA159 Δ1361c and challenged with filter discs soaked with 0, 20, 40, and 60 mM hydrogen peroxide. The representative plates are shown to demonstrate the differences in inhibition zones (E), which are measured at three different positions and averaged to serve as a single data point, and the ratio of inhibition zone to disc diameter was calculated (F). Each experiment was repeated at least thrice. Results are presented as mean ± SD (*P < 0.05 or ***P < 0.001).
Techniques Used: Bacteria, Staining, Cell Culture, Control, Inhibition
Figure Legend Snippet: Effect of smu_1361c on interspecies competition within the three-species biofilms. S. mutans and its derivatives, S. gordonii, and S. sanguinis were simultaneously cultured in fresh BHIS (A and B) or supplemented with 3 mg/mL catalase (C and D) under aerobic conditions for 24 h and labeled by species-specific FISH probes. The three-dimensional visualization of three-species biofilms with S. mutans (green), S. gordonii (blue), and S. sanguinis (red) was captured using the confocal laser scanning microscopy at 60× magnification and reconstructed using the IMARIS 7.0.0 (A and C). The ratio of S. mutans/S. gordonii/S. sanguinis was quantified by the coverage area of each species with Image Pro Plus 6.0 (B and D). The representative images are shown from at least five randomly selected positions of each sample. Results are presented as mean ± SD (*P < 0.05 or ****P < 0.0001).
Techniques Used: Cell Culture, Labeling, Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy
Figure Legend Snippet: Transcriptomics analysis of UA159/pDL278 and UA159/pDL278-1361c strains. (A) Functional classification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was performed based on the clusters of orthologous groups type. (B) The volcano plot illustrates DEGs between UA159/pDL278 and UA159/pDL278-1361c. Functional annotation and enrichment analysis of DEGs were performed in the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG, C) and Gene Ontology (GO, D) databases. Downregulated genes are shown in green. (E) Genetic organization of gene clusters that were significantly downregulated in UA159/pDL278-1361c.
