Biovolume of S. mutans UA159 biofilms after treatments by COMSTAT analysis.
| Treatments* | MFar125F | MFar250F | 250F | Vehicle control | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Biofilm components | Bacteria | EPS | Bacteria | EPS | Bacteria | EPS | Bacteria | EPS |
| Biovolume | 6.3 ± 1.6 A | 8.8 ± 2.0 δ | 5.4 ± 1.0 A | 9.3 ± 0.9 δ | 12.3 ± 3.5 B | 13.2 ± 0.9 ε | 12.0 ± 6.7 B | 15.0 ± 5.7 ε |
Values (SD, n = 15) in the same line for bacteria followed by the same letters are not significantly different from each other (p > 0.05, ANOVA, comparison for all pairs using Tukey test).
Values (SD, n = 15) in the same line for EPS followed by the same symbols are not significantly different from each other (p > 0.05, ANOVA, comparison for all pairs using Tukey test).
MFar125F - myricetin, tt-farnesol and 125 ppm F; MFar250F - myricetin, tt-farnesol and 250 ppm F; 250F - 250 ppm F; Vehicle control - 20% ethanol containing 2.5% DMSO (v/v).
