Deletion of competence-induced genes over-expressed in biofilms caused transformation deficiencies in Streptococcus mutans.

Molecular oral microbiology - 1 Dec 2010

Eaton R E, Jacques N A

Abstract excerpt

Previous studies identified nine genes with increased expression in Streptococcus mutans biofilms of which six possessed putative ComX promoter sequences and were homologous to competence-induced genes in Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus gordonii and Bacillus subtilis. As competence increases in biofilms, a study was undertaken into the roles that these biofilm-induced genes might play in transformation....
