Influence of culture medium on the glucosyl transferase- and dextran-binding capacity of Streptococcus mutans 6715 cells.
Growth of Streptococcus mutans 6715 in a medium containing trace amounts of sucrose or dextran promotes cell-associated glucosyl transferase activity and increases the dextran-binding capacity of the organisms.
