The difference of the ability to synthesize exopolysaccharides of clinical strains of biofilm streptococcus mutans
各时间段593号临床株绿色荧光的分布较18号临床株更致密和广泛。②3~20 h 593号临床株合成水溶性葡聚糖能力强于18号临床株(P<0.05);3~16 h 593号临床株合成水不溶性葡聚糖能力强于18号临床株(P<0.05);其他时间点二者合成胞外多糖的能力无显著性差异(P>0.05)。结论:在生物膜形成过程中两菌株合成胞外多糖量随时间延长而增加
593号临床株在生物膜形成早期3~16 h更强的合成胞外多糖能力(含水溶性和水不溶性葡聚糖)
可能是其具高致龋力的原因之一。
Abstract
Objective: To observe the exopolysaccharides produced by biofilm cells of clinical strains 593 and 18 and the difference between the two strains.Methods:① Streptococcus mutans biofilms formed on polystyrene plastic sheets in 3
12 and 20 hours respectively
exopolysaccharides distribution
after fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated concanavalin A staining
were visualized by confocal scanning laser microscopy.② The amounts of exopolysaccharides by adhesive streptococcus mutans in different culture time were determined by the anthrone method.Results: After combining with the fluorescent stain
the exopolysaccharides showed green light.Strain 593 in biofilm possessed stronger ability to synthesize exopolysaccharides than strain 18
especially the amount of water soluble glucans in 3~20 h and water insoluble glucans in 3~16 h(P<0.05).Conclusion: The stronger ability of biofilm strain 593 to synthesize exopolysaccharides in the early biofilm formation stage during the 3~16 h may be the reason for its higher cariogenic ability.
