Abstract excerpt
Mutants of Streptococcus mutans V403, constructed by allelic exchange and altered in their capacity to produce enzymes involved in the production of extracellular polysaccharides from sucrose, were used to study the role of glucans and fructans in the diffusion of ions through cell concentrates. A 4.0mm diameter, 0.75 mm deep diffusion chamber with an ion-sensitive field-effect transistor electrode positioned at...
