Lactic acid excretion by Streptococcus mutans [PDF]
Microbiology, 1996 Lactic acid is the major end-product of glycolysis by Streptococcus mutans under conditions of sugar excess or low environmental pH. However, the mechanism of lactic acid excretion by S. mutans is unknown. To characterize lactic acid efflux in S. mutans the transmembrane movement of radiolabelled lactate was monitored in de-energized cells. Lactate was
