trehalose degradation~Degradation of trehalose, also known as mycose, a disaccharide found extensively but not abundantly in nature. Trehalose is metabolized by a number of bacteria, including Streptococcus mutans, the common oral bacteria responsible for oral plaque. The enzyme trehalase, a glycoside hydrolase, present but not abundant in most people, breaks trehalose into two glucose molecules, which can then be readily absorbed in the gut. |
