The mannitol-specific enzyme II (mtlA) gene and the mtlR gene of the PTS of Streptococcus mutans.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Jul 2000

Honeyman Allen L, Curtiss Roy

Abstract excerpt

The phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS) is widely found among Gram-positive bacteria. It is the major source of carbohydrate transport in the dental pathogen Streptococcus mutans. The transported carbohydrates are fermented to produce large amounts of lactic acid which initiates dental caries. The authors have isolated the S. mutans gene for the mannitol-specific Enzyme II (EII)...
