| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to clarify the influence of coaggregation between Fusobacterium nucleatum, a periodont pathogenic bacteria, and other microorganisms for production of volatile sulfur compound (VSC) by F. nucleatum. The coaggregation reaction was observed between F. nucleatum and Porphyromonas gingivalis, and shown that the production of VSC was significantly enhanced by incubation with live P. gingivalis compared to incubation F. nucleatum solely. It was also observed that the gene expression of F. nucleatum enzyme related with VSC production was tended to be enhanced by incubation with live P.gingivalis together whereas no effect was shown when incubated with heat-killed microorganism or supernatant of medium of P.gingivalis.
