Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus mutants constitutively expresses three glucosyltransferases (GTFs), i.e., GtfB, GtfC, and GtfD, which synthesize glucan polymers from sucrose. Two genetically constructed mutants of S. mutans which stably expressed either the cell-associated or the extracellular GTFs were selected for purification and characterization of these enzymes. The cell-associated GtfB and GtfC from strain GS-5DD lacking the...
