... were produced with a 20 – 1 range of measured carbohydrate to protein ratio and variable packing density (dry weight of membrane). Resistances of plaques to diffusion of acetate, sucrose, and sorbitol were measured, and found to be proportional to the plaque dry weight. Extracellular polysaccharide...

...C.A. Saxton The localization and distribution of organisms actively synthesizing intracellular polysaccharide from labelled glucose has been studied in plaque in situ , using electron microscope autoradiography. Freshly extracted teeth were in contact with one of three different glucose...

...Z. Broukal; O. Zajíček Extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) in human dental plaque were investigated in relation to fluoride concentration in drinking water under both natural and experimental conditions. In a low-fluoride area (0.2 ppm F –– ) the level of EPS amounted to 15.2% and in a fluoridated...

... and microbiologically, and mineral loss from enamel (ΔZ) was evaluated. Significantly higher ΔZ was found in the sucrose group after 7 days. However, on the 3rd day, lactobacilli, insoluble extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) and intracellular polysaccharide were significantly higher, and the calcium, inorganic...

... and the supragingival dental plaque was analyzed for insoluble polysaccharide (IP). The PI (SD) for the experimental group was 0.78 (0.17), significantly less than for the placebo group, 1.41 (0.14). The experimental mouthrinse reduced the IP concentration in dental plaque by 61.7% compared to placebo (p < 0.05...

..., i.e. the cell biomass, content of the plaques and, in the case of DMM + urea plaques, increased the water-insoluble hexose content, presumably extracellular polysaccharide. Reduced biomass was partly due to the bulking of plaque with extracellular polysaccharide, but the marked effect of urea...
