Transferrin Binding byStreptococcus oralisand other Oral Streptococci
The ability of oral streptococcal species to bind transferrin was determined using an assay system in which the binding of fluorescein isothiocyanate-labelled transferrin was monitored by measuring the decrease in fluorescence using excitation and emission wavelengths of 495 nm and 525 nm, respectively.

Peptides as quorum sensing molecules : measurement techniques and obtained levels in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
The expression of certain bacterial genes is regulated in a cell-density dependent way, a phenomenon called quorum sensing. Both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria use this type of communication, though the signal molecules (auto-inducers) used by ...
