  • Title: Continuous culture studies on the growth and physiology of Streptococcus mutans.
    Author: White GE, Cooney GL, Sinskey AJ, Miller SA.
    Journal: J Dent Res; 1976; 55(2):239-43. PubMed ID: 1062423.
    Abstract:
    We examined the effects of nutritional limitations on the production of lactic acid by Streptococcus mutans grown at low growth rates in continuous culture. Lactic acid production was greater in nitrogen- and phosphate-limited continuous cultures than in glucose-limited conditions. These results are correlated with the release of calcium from enamel in cellfree broths from various fermentations.
