Marine Bacterial Enzyme Destroys Plaque, Preventing Tooth Decay

Newcastle University scientists are researching the potential of seaweed bacterial enzymes destroying plaque to combat tooth decay. By isolating an enzyme from the marine bacterium: Bacillus licheniformis, scientists have discovered it can cut through plaque and clean difficult-to-access dental areas. Historically, the bacterial enzyme is used to clean the hulls of ships and is now […]
