Abstract

When sucrose is provided as a substrate for glucosyltransferase (GTF), Spp+ cells of the oral bacteria Streptococcus gordonii grow embedded in an insoluble glucan mass associated with surfaces. Spp- phase variants with lower GTF activity, which either arise from or are grown with Spp+ cells, segregate preferentially as unattached cells in the culture supernatants. Conversely, Spp+ revertants preferentially accumulate on surfaces. GTF phase variation, therefore, may facilitate the dispersion of S. gordonii cells throughout the oral cavity.

摘要

当蔗糖作为葡糖基转移酶(GTF)的底物时,口腔细菌戈登链球菌的Spp +细胞生长在与表面相关的不溶性葡聚糖团块中。具有较低GTF活性的Spp-相变体,其要么由Spp +细胞产生,要么与Spp +细胞一起生长,它们优先作为未附着的细胞分离到培养上清液中。相反,Spp +回复体优先在表面聚集。因此,GTF相变异可能有助于戈登链球菌细胞在整个口腔中的扩散。
