摘要
The distribution and activity of four different α-d-glucosyltransferases (GTF) were determined in culture filtrates of Streptococcus sobrinus grown in the chemostat. The rate of production of each enzyme depended on the growth rate, the pH of the medium, the limiting nutrient and on the presence of Tween 80. Changes in the relative proportion of GTF were reflected in the altered structures and adhesive qualities of the water-insoluble α-d-glucans synthesized from sucrose by the culture filtrates. © 1990.
