From: Short chain fatty acids induced the type 1 and type 2 fimbrillin-dependent and fimbrillin-independent initial attachment and colonization of Actinomyces oris monoculture but not coculture with streptococci

Number of live A. oris cells that were initially attached and colonized after treatment with SCFAs. A. oris MG1 was cultivated in TSB supplemented with or without 60 mM SCFAs (acetic, butyric, formic, lactic, propionic and valeric acids) for 1 h. The attached and colonized cells were harvested with a scraper, were pipetted, and placed onto BHI agar plates. These cells were counted on BHI agar plates after 48 h. The data represent the mean ± standard deviation (SD) of triplicate experiments. The experiments were performed three times, with similar results obtained in each replicate. The asterisks indicate a significant difference between the two groups (Student’s t-test, p-value < 0.05, no SCFAs vs. SCFAs)
