Research Abstract |
Metabolites, including indole, have an effect on bacterial biofilm formation. In this study, study on tryptophanase producing indole was performed. Tryptophanase of Prevotella intermedia, which is one of periodontopathogenic bacteria, was purified and enzymatically characterized. In addition, capacity to produce indole and existence of the gene encoding tryptophanase were examined in 22 Prevetella species. Also, proteins to degrade and produce cyclic-di-nucleotides also investigated.
