Degradation and assimilation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and mucin by C. perfringens strain ATCC 13124. (a,b) Halo assay for the degradation of GAGs (HA, CSC, and HP). Plates before (left) and after (right) addition of acetic acid in nutrient-poor (a) and nutrient-rich medium (HA, glucose-rich medium; CSC and HP, GAM medium) (b). c growth of C. perfringens cells in the presence of HA or mucin. Circle, nutrient-poor medium; triangle, nutrient-poor medium containing HA; and square, nutrient-poor medium containing mucin. Each measurement represents the mean of three individual experiments. Significant differences from the control (nutrient-poor medium) were determined using Student’s t-test (**p < 0.01, *p < 0.05).
