Glycogen degrading activities of catalytic domains of α-amylase and α-amylase-pullulanase enzymes conserved in <i>Gardnerella</i> spp. from the vaginal microbiome
2022-10-20
Abstract excerpt
Gardnerella spp. are associated with bacterial vaginosis, in which normally dominant lactobacilli are replaced with facultative and anaerobic bacteria including Gardnerella spp. Co-occurrence of multiple species of Gardnerella is common in the vagina and competition for nutrients such as glycogen likely contributes to the differential abundances of Gardnerella spp. Glycogen must be digested into smaller compone...
