. Preliminary studies suggest that several additional commensal streptococci are also able to catabolize glycerol, and glycerol-related genes are actively expressed in human dental plaque samples. Our findings reveal the potential of glycerol to significantly impact microbial homeostasis, which warrants further exploration.
