Abstract excerpt

Aciduricity is a major cariogenic characteristic of Streptococcus mutans, and various genes have been implicated in this ability of S. mutans. Sixteen S. mutans mutant strains, each defective in a different gene, were constructed and their aciduricity was assessed. Of the mutants, the diacylglycerol kinase (Dgk) homologue mutant and the glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase mutant strains displayed distinctly...
