Abstract excerpt
One hundred isolates of the oral pathogenic bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis were genetically characterized by determining the electrophoretic mobilities of 16 metabolic enzymes and the presence or absence of catalase activity. A total of 78 distinct electrophoretic types (ETs), representing mu...
