| Research Abstract |
In order to construction of polysaccharide degradation enzymes producing bacteria for caries prevention by replacement therapy, we firstly identified and analyzed the genes encoding a mutanase (water insoluble glucan degradation enzyme). Secondarily, we constructed the bacterium which is overexpress of polysaccharide degradation enzymes by using plasmid-borne expression system.
