A

Pellicle

180 peptides, protiens, and glycoprotiens keratins, mucins, proline-rich proteins, phosphoproteins (e.g., statherin), histidine-rich proteins, and other molecules that can function as adhesion sites (receptors) for bacteria.

92
Q

At what point can a salivart pellicle be detected on clean enamel surfaces?

A

within 1 minute after their introduction into the mouth.

93
Q

Explain why the pellicle is not a passive adhesion matrix

A

Many proteins retain enzymatic activity when they are incorporated into the pellicle, and some of these, such as peroxidases, lysozyme, and α-amylase, may affect the physiology and metabolism of adhering bacterial cells
