Abstract:This study aimed to evaluate the effects of phosphoproteins on bacterial mineralization. Dental calculus formation is attributed to bacterial mineralization in the oral cavity; however, the influence of phosphoproteins (which are abundant in saliva) is not clear. The model bacterium Escherichia coli was suspended in a calcification solution containing casein as a model phosphoprotein. To evaluate mineralization independent of bacterial metabolism, bacteria killed by heat treatment at 70°C were compared with vi… Show more
“…41,42 Thus, these compounds play important roles under these conditions in signal transduction such as intracellular enrichment with mineral nutrients of microorganisms. 43 Most of the chemical constituents of these microorganisms’ membranes were composed of sphingolipids, a diglyceride, and bacteriohopanetetrols. The presence of a bacteriohopanetetrol skeleton containing an additional CH 3 group or olefinic bonds depends on the microorganism species.…”
The lack of studies evaluating the chemical responses of Kombucha microorganisms when exposed to plants is notable in the literature. Therefore, this work investigates the chemical behaviour of 7, 14...

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
