Hyaluronic Acid Derived from Other Streptococci Supports Streptococcus pneumoniae In Vitro Biofilm Formation
Figure 2
Effect of hyaluronic acid (HA) on pneumococcal biofilm growth. Time course experiment in YE medium (blue bars) or YE medium supplied with either 0.2% glucose (red bars) or hyaluronic acid (black bar). The biomass of biofilm were detected by crystal-violet microtiter plate assay. The significance of the results () between biomass of biofilm grown in positive control (), hyaluronic acid (), and negative control (YE only) was determined by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The error bars represent the standard deviations (SD).
