Effect of cell density on induction of acid adaptation in S. mutans BM71 log-phase cells. Cells were collected from pH 7.0 cultures and resuspended at various cell densities during the adaptation phase at pH 5.5 for 2 h and were then exposed to the killing pH of 3.5 for 3 h. Results are the mean ± SD of at least three independent cultures.
