  		Figure 1. Mean results ± standard deviation of (A) malodor levels as scored by judge 1 ({blacksquare}) and judge 2 ({square}) (with results presented on a semi-integer scale of 0–5), and (B) volatile sulfide levels measured with the use of a sulfide monitor (HalimeterTM), as ppb sulfide equivalents. * indicates high significance (p = 0.026 and p = 0.015 for judges 1 and 2, respectively, N = 6).

SDS-PAGE analysis of the different incubation mixtures after incubation: Mucin (lane 1); Mucin, S. salivarius (lane 2); Mucin, P. gingivalis (lane 3); Mucin, S. salivarius, P. gingivalis (lane 4); Mucin, S. salivarius, P. gingivalis, p-APTG (lane 5); Mucin, S. salivarius, P. gingivalis, glucose (lane 6). Arrow indicates mucin bands.
