Figure 1. DNA digestion around growing colonies of streptococcal species.

Figure 1

The DNase activities of oral streptococcus strains were examined using BHI agar plates containing salmon sperm DNA. The plates were incubated for 72-digested DNA. Halos seen around colonies reflect DNA digestion. The following strains were tested: S. sanguinis, SK36; S. oralis, NCTC 11427T/SK23; S. mutans, MT8148; S. salivarius, HHT; S. parasanguinis, ATCC 903; S. sobrinus, MT10186. Bar, 1 cm.
