Growth of Streptococcus mutans in Biofilms Alters Peptide Signaling at the Sub-population Level
Streptococcus mutans activates multiple cellular processes in response to the formation of a complex between comX-inducing peptide (XIP) and the ComR transcriptional regulator. Bulk phase and microfluidic experiments previously revealed that ComR-dependent activation of comX is altered by pH and by...
