Glucose PTS Modulates Pyruvate Metabolism, Bacterial Fitness, and Microbial Ecology in Oral Streptococci
2022-09-22
Abstract excerpt
Spontaneous mutants with defects in the primary glucose phosphotransferase (PTS) permease ( manLMNO ) of Streptococcus sanguinis SK36 showed enhanced fitness at low pH. Transcriptomics and metabolomics with a manL deletion mutant (SK36/ manL ) revealed redirection of pyruvate to production of acetate and formate, rather than lactate. The observations were consistent with measurements of decreased lactic acid a...
