Comparison of transcriptome profiling between multispecies biofilms treated with L. plantarum 14917 and their controls. (A) Volcano plots from transcriptome analysis of S. mutans in multispecies (L. plantarum 14917 + S. mutans + C. albicans) biofilm (48 h, 1% sucrose) compared to S. mutans in duo-species (S. mutans + C. albicans) biofilm. (B) C. albicans in multispecies biofilm compared to C. albicans in duo-species biofilm. (C) L. plantarum 14917 in multispecies biofilm compared to L. plantarum 14917 single-species biofilms. Data represent three independent replicates of each condition. qRT-PCR validation results of selected genes are shown on the right side of each volcano plots. * Indicates that the expression of genes in the multispecies biofilms was significantly different from that in the control group (p < 0.05).
