Transport and utilization of glycogen breakdown products by <i>Gardnerella</i> spp. from the human vaginal microbiome
2022-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Multiple Gardnerella species frequently co-occur in vaginal microbiomes, and several factors including competition for nutrients such as glycogen could determine their population structure. Although Gardnerella spp. can hydrolyze glycogen to produce glucose, maltose, maltotriose and maltotetraose, how these sugars are transported and utilized for growth is unknown. We determined the distribution of genes encodin...
