05). Enhanced acidification and greater G1P concentrations were observed in the sucrose-treated group, but mostly in strains capable of producing EPS (p less then 0.05). Importantly, only the WT exposed to sucrose was able to synthesize IPS during starvation. Contrary to CcpA-proficient strains, IPS was progressively degraded during starvation in ∆ccpA, which also showed increased glg operon expression and greater PTS activities at baseline. Therefore, sucrose metabolism by secreted enzymes affects the capacity of S. mutans in synth
