  • Title: Measurement and synthesis of insoluble and soluble dextran by Streptococcus mutans.
    Author: Montville TJ, Cooney CL, Sinskey AJ.
    Journal: J Dent Res; 1977 Aug; 56(8):983-9. PubMed ID: 336659.
    Abstract:
    Total and insoluble dextransucrase activities of 10 strains of oral streptococci were measured by a modified filter disk assay. Strains that were nonadherent to hard surfaces had only low levels of insoluble dextransucrase activity. A physical rather than metabolic mechanism is suggested to explain the decreased insoluble and increased soluble activities observed when dextran T-10 is added to the media.
