Bicarbonate and potassium regulation of the shape of Streptococcus mutans NCTC 10449S
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The shape of S. mutans 10449S can be dictated by the ratio of bicarbonate to K+ in the growth medium, and Manipulating this ratio in other media resulted in similar shape changes.
