Streptococcus mutans Membrane Lipid Composition: Virulence Factors and Structural Parameters

Highlights • At pH 5, smooth surface caries affects the membrane organization of S. mutans. • The shift in the membrane fatty acids profile alters acid survival of S. mutans. • The better protein/lipid hydrophobic matching results in increased ATPase activity
