It is well known that salivary components interact with microbes to influence their colonization of the oral cavity. One such interaction involves the abundant salivary enzyme, amylase, which binds sp
Gene expression profile of the Streptococcus sanguinis two component system regulator, ciaR, deletion mutant compared to the wild-type strain SK36 Overall design: Experiment: ciaR mutant vs. wild-type
We used a combination of genetic and proteomic approaches to characterize tmRNA (ssrA) activity in the genome-reduced bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae. For this, we generated tmRNA mutants encoding a t
