Heterogeneous lineage-specific arginine deiminase expression within dental microbiome species
ABSTRACTArginine catabolism by the bacterial arginine deiminase system (ADS) has anticariogenic properties through the production of ammonia, which modulates the pH of the oral environment. Given the potential protective capacity of the ADS pathway, the exploitation of ADS-competent oral microbes th...
