| CHARACTERIZATION | An extract of D. carrota induces agglutination of most serotypes of S. mutans but not of S. salivarius or S. mitis. If added to a suspension of mixed bacteria, a piece of D. carrota may selectively adsorb S. mutans while S. salivarius and S. mitis only are affected to a minor degree. See also: Caries Res. 1982;16(6):423-7 Daucus carrota lectin found in prepared food (canned carrot) was found to be autoclave resistant. See: Appl Environ Microbiol 1981 (41) 880-888 |
