The Route of Sucrose Utilization by Streptococcus mutans Affects Intracellular Polysaccharide Metabolism

Streptococcus mutans converts extracellular sucrose (Suc) into exopolysaccharides (EPS) by glucosyl-transferase and fructosyl-transferase enzymes and internalizes Suc for fermentation through the phosphotransferase system (PTS). Here, we examined how altering the routes for sucrose utilization impac...
