Purification, Characterization, and Molecular Analysis of the Gene Encoding Glucosyltransferase from <i>Streptococcus oralis</i>
1 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus oralis is a member of the oral streptococcal family and an early-colonizing microorganism in the oral cavity of humans. S. oralis is known to produce glucosyltransferase (GTase), which synthesizes glucans from sucrose. The enzyme was purified chromatographically from a culture supernatant of S. oralis ATCC 10557. The purified enzyme, GTase-R, had a molecular mass of 173 kDa and a pI of 6.3. This...
