“…The majority of studies vary greatly in experimental design, as follows: (1) RNASeq analysis of the response of Porphyromonas gingivalis to Candida albicans hyphae after 1 hour of aerobic coincubation in rich medium 40 ; (2) RNASeq analysis of the responses of P. gingivalis and Acinetobacter baumannii to each other after 3 hours of aerobic coincubation as a pellet in phosphate‐buffered saline 35 ; (3) RNASeq analysis of the responses of P. gingivalis to Streptococcus gordonii during a time course of 0, 5, 30, 120, 240, and 360 minutes of aerobic coincubation as a pellet in phosphate‐buffered saline 34 ; (4) RNASeq analysis of mutual responses between different P. gingivalis strains and a 5‐species oral community ( Actinomyces naeslundii , Campylobacter gracilis , Fusobacterium nucleatum , Streptococcus mitis , and Veillonella parvula ) after a time course of 0, 1, 3, and 9 days of anaerobic incubation as biofilm in artificial crevicular fluid 41 ; (5) microarrray analysis of the responses of P. gingivalis to a 5‐species oral community comprising Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans ( Aa ), A. naeslundii , F. nucleatum , Streptococcus oralis , and V. parvula ) after 4 days of anaerobic incubation as biofilm in rich medium 42 ; (6) microarray analysis of the responses of P. gingivalis and Treponema denticola to each other after 4 days of anaerobic coincubation as batch culture in rich medium 43 ; (7) RNASeq analysis of the responses of S. gordonii and (a) F. nucleatum or (b) V . parvula to each other after 30 minutes of coaggregation in saliva 45,46 ; (8) RNASeq analysis of the response of S. gordonii to C. albicans hyphae after 1 hour of coaggregation in various media 47 ; (9) microarray analysis of the responses of S. gordonii to C. albicans hyphae after 30 minutes of aerobic coincubation as a pellet in rich medium 48 ; (10) microarray analysis of the responses of S. gordonii to A. naeslundii after 3 hours of aerobic coaggregation in chemically defined medium 49 ; (11) RNASeq analysis of the responses of Streptococcus mutans and A. actinomycetemcomitans to each other after a time course of 0, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours of anaerobic incubation as biofilm in artificial saliva 55 ; (12) RNASeq analysis of the response of S. mutans to C. albicans hyphae after 24 hours of aerobic (5% CO 2 ) incubation as biofilm in rich medium 79 —this study has corresponding proteomic information; (13) RNASeq analysis of the response of S. mutans to C. albicans hyphae after 42 hours of aerobic (5% CO 2 ) incubation as biofilm in rich medium 53 ; (14) microarray analysis of the response of S. mutans to C. albicans hyphae after a time course of 6, 10, and 24 hours of aerobic (5% CO 2 ) incubation as biofilm in rich medium 54 ; (15) microarray analysis of the responses of S. mutans to S. mitis after 24 hours of anaerobic incubation as biofilm in chemically defined medium containing 1% sucrose 56 ; (16) microarray analyses of the responses of T. denticola to S. gordonii , S. sanguinis , F. nucleatum , P. intermedia , T. forsythia , or P. gingivalis after 5 hours of anaerobic incubation as pellets in rich medium 44 …”
