Effects of combined exogenous dextranase and sodium fluoride on Streptococcus mutans 25175 monospecies biofilms.

Am. J. Dent. 26(5) , 239-43, (2013)

To investigate the effects of exogenous dextranase and sodium fluoride on a S. mutans monospecies biofilm.S. mutans 25175 was grown in tryptone soya broth medium, and biofilm was formed on glass slides with 1.0% sucrose. Exogenous dextranase and sodium fluori...

Characterization of novel thermostable dextranase from Thermotoga lettingae TMO.

Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 85(3) , 581-7, (2010)

Biochemical properties of a putative thermostable dextranase gene from Thermotoga lettingae TMO were determined in a recombinant protein (TLDex) expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to sevenfold apparent homogeneity. The 64-kDa protein displayed maximum...

Rational introduction of disulfide bond to enhance optimal temperature of Lipomyces starkeyi alpha-dextranase expressed in Pichia pastoris.

J. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 19(12) , 1506-13, (2009)

Alpha-dextranase, which can hydrolyze dextran, is largely used in the sugar industry. However, a thermostable alpha- dextranase is needed to alleviate the viscosity of syrups and clean blocked machines. Thus, to improve the optimal temperature of Lipomyces st...

Cloning of a gene encoding dextranase from Lipomyces starkeyi and its expression in Pichia pastoris.

J. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 19(2) , 172-7, (2009)

A gene (lsd1) encoding dextranase from Lipomyces starkeyi KSM22 has been previously cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The gene consisting of 1,824 base pairs and encoding a protein of 608 amino acids was then cloned into and secret...

A bacterial dextranase.

Biochem. J. 72(1) , 49-54, (1959)

Biodegradable nanoparticles made from polylactide-grafted dextran copolymers.

J. Colloid. Interface Sci. 330(2) , 337-43, (2009)

Polysaccharide-covered polyester nanoparticles were prepared using the emulsion/solvent evaporation process. The core of the nanoparticles was made either of PLA or of a blend of polylactide and polylactide-grafted dextran copolymer in various proportions. Th...

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of dextranase from Streptococcus mutans.

Acta Crystallogr. Sect. F Struct. Biol. Cryst. Commun. 67(Pt 12) , 1542-4, (2011)

Streptococcus mutans dextranase hydrolyzes the internal α-1,6-linkages of dextran and belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 66. An N- and C-terminal deletion mutant of S. mutans dextranase was crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crys...

The inhibitory effects of mushroom extracts on sucrose-dependent oral biofilm formation.

Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 86(2) , 615-23, (2010)

Mushrooms contain large quantities of alpha-glucans. Shiitake (Lentinula edodes), Japan's most popular edible mushroom, has been reported to contain about 6% (weight/dried weight) of alpha-(1,3)-glucan. This glucan is one of the major components of oral biofi...
