Glycerol Metabolism Contributes to Competition by Oral Streptococci through Production of Hydrogen Peroxide
2024-06-28
Abstract excerpt
As a biological byproduct from both humans and microbes, glycerol’s contribution to microbial homeostasis in the oral cavity remains understudied. Here we examined glycerol metabolism by Streptococcus sanguinis, a commensal associated with oral health. Genetic mutants of glucose-PTS enzyme II ( manL ), glycerol metabolism ( glp and dha pathways), and transcriptional regulators were characterized with regard to...
