Measurement and synthesis of insoluble and soluble dextran by Streptococcus mutans

T. J. Montville, C. L. Cooney and A. J. Sinskey

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.
