Abstract excerpt
The genome of Streptococcus mutans UA159 contains two phospho-beta-glucosidase genes, bglA and celA, which occur in operon-like arrangements along with genes for components of phosphotransferase transport systems and a third phospho-beta-glucosidase encoded by the arb gene, which does not have its own associated transport system but relies on uptake by the bgl or cel systems. Targeted inactivation of each of the...
