Viable counts in cospecies biofilms formed with Δgtf::kan mutant strains of S. mutans UA159. Shown are the total viable counts of S. mutans and C. albicans in 42-h cospecies biofilms formed with C. albicans SC5314 and one of the following S. mutans strains: the parental strain, UA159 (black bars), the ΔgtfB::kan mutant (gray bars), the ΔgtfC::kan mutant (orange bars), or the ΔgtfBC::kan mutant (red bars). The data are mean values ± standard deviations (n, ≥22). All cospecies biofilms formed with any of the three mutant strains contained significantly fewer viable counts of S. mutans and C. albicans than those formed in the presence of UA159 (*, P < 0.05).
