The fruB Gene of Streptococcus mutans Encodes an Endo-Levanase That Enhances Growth on Levan and Influences Global Gene Expression
Streptococcus mutans, the primary etiologic agent of human dental caries, and a variety of oral Streptococcus and Actinomyces spp. synthesize high molecular mass homopolymers of fructose (fructans) with predominantly β2,1- (inulins) or β2,6-linkages (levans). The ability of S. mutans to degrade fruc...
