Dispensable genes and foreign DNA in Streptococcus mutans.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Jun 2006

Waterhouse Janet C, Russell Roy R B

Abstract excerpt

A range of properties, including the ability to utilize various sugars, bind macromolecules and produce mutacins, are known to vary in their occurrence in different strains of Streptococcus mutans. In addition, insertion-sequence elements show a limited distribution and sequencing of the genome of S. mutans UA159 has revealed the presence of putative genomic islands of atypical base composition indicative of...
