Effects of pH on the Properties of Membrane Vesicles Including Glucosyltransferase in <i>Streptococcus mutans</i>

Effects of pH on the Properties of Membrane Vesicles Including Glucosyltransferase in <i>Streptococcus mutans</i>

<i>Streptococcus mutans</i> releases membrane vesicles (MVs) and induces MV-dependent biofilm formation. Glucosyltransferases (Gtfs) are bound to MVs and contribute to the adhesion and glucans-dependent biofilm formation of early adherent bacteria on the tooth surface. The biofilm format...
