Figure 1. Electrophoretic mobility vs. pH profiles of Streptococcus mutans (A), Lactobacillus casei (B), Lactobacillus salivarius (C), Lactobacillus fermentum (D), and HAP (E) in 0.01 mol L–1 KNO3. [Ca 2+] = 0 (O), 5 x 10–4 ({diamondsuit}), 1 x 10–3 ({blacktriangleup}), and 1 x 10–2 ({blacktriangledown}) mol/L. Also shown in (A) and (C), measurements in the presence of natural saliva: [Ca2+] = 1 x 10–2 mol L–1 ({square}); [Ca2+] = 0 ({diamond}). Vertical bars indicate SD of triplicate experiments.
