Physical and Biochemical Studies of Streptococcus mutans Sediments Suggest New Factors Linking the Cariogenicity of Plaque with its Extracellular Polysaccharide Content

Cultures of Streptococcus mutans MFe28 (serotype h) were grown with differing extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) content. Biochemical and physicochemical characteristics considered relevant to caries were measured. Acid production parameters measured in a pH-stat were: Vm = 0.76 ± 0.14 μmol/g/sec (w...
