Environmental and genetic regulation of Streptococcus pneumoniae galactose catabolic pathways
17 Jun 2024
Abstract excerpt
Efficient utilization of nutrients is crucial for microbial survival and virulence. The same nutrient may be utilized by multiple catabolic pathways, indicating that the physical and chemical environments for induction as well as their functional roles may differ. Here, we study the tagatose and Leloir pathways for galactose catabolism of the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae. We show that galactose...
