title: Comparison of different water-soluble glucan synthases from Streptococcus mutans serotype g.
abstract: A novel glucosyltransferase that synthesizes low molecular weight water-soluble glucan was partially purified from Streptococcus mutans AHT cell-free culture supernatant. This enzyme was compared with another water-soluble glucan synthase which synthesized high molecular weight glucan.
