Metabolic Modeling of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Streptococcus mutans</named-content> Reveals Complex Nutrient Requirements of an Oral Pathogen

ABSTRACT Streptococcus mutans is a Gram-positive bacterium that thrives under acidic conditions and is a primary cause of tooth decay (dental caries). To better understand the metabolism of S. mutans on a systematic level, we manually constructed a genome-scale metabolic model of the S. mutans type...
