2002, Archives of Oral BiologyCitation Excerpt :It is a constituent of the acquired pellicle (Orstavik and Kraus, 1973; Al-Hashimi and Levine, 1989) and could, therefore, be available to act as a receptor for the adhesion of micro-organisms to tooth surfaces (Scanniepo et al., 1995). A feature of amylase is its ability to bind to bacterial surfaces and to hydrolyse starch, giving rise to products that are transformed into acids (Scanniepo et al., 1990). Also, the maltose and maltodextrins produced by amylase may be transformed to polysaccharides known as glucans by a glucosyltransferase located in the outer surface of mutans streptococci (Vacca-Smith et al., 1996).
