(A) Growth curves of S. mutans UA159, UA159 pDL278, UA159 pDL278-actG, and UA159 ΔactG in anaerobic condition for 12 h. (B, C) The biofilm biomass was determined by crystal violet staining assay (B) and anthrone-sulfuric acid method (C) when cultured in BHIS (1% sucrose wt/vol) in anaerobic condition for 6h, 12h, and 24h, respectively. Results are presented as mean ± SD (* P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01 or *** P < 0.001).
