Complete Genome Sequence of Streptococcus mutans Strain MD, Which Produces Highly Potent Mutacins.

Abstract

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Streptococcus mutans strain MD, which produces potent mutacins capable of inhibiting streptococci. MD is a relatively uncharacterized strain whose genome information was unavailable. This study provides useful information for comparative genomic study and for understanding the repertoire of mutacins in S. mutans.
