Characterization of the Fructosyltransferase Gene of Actinomyces naeslundii WVU45

Oral actinomycetes produce fructosyltransferase (FTF) enzymes which convert sucrose into polymers of d-fructose, known as levans, and these polymers are thought to contribute to the persistence and virulence of the organisms. A gene encoding FTF was isolated from Actinomyces naeslundii WVU45; the de...
