Genetic elements orchestrating <i>Lactobacillus crispatus</i> glycogen metabolism in the vagina

2022-04-23

Abstract excerpt

Glycogen in the female lower reproductive tract is a major carbon source for vaginal colonization and acidification by common vaginal Lactobacillus species, such as Lactobacillus crispatus . Previously we identified the pullulanase gene pulA in Lactobacillus crispatus , correlating with its ability to autonomously utilize glycogen for growth. Here we further characterize genetic variation and differential regul...
