A comparative study on arginine metabolism by oral streptococci revealed both divergence and heterogeneity in dependence on arginine and significance of ornithine and citrulline

Our study suggested that arginine is an essential nutrient for most oral streptococci, excluding <i>S. mutans</i>, and identified ornithine and citrulline as potential metabolic signals in oral microbiome.
