Genetic Elements Orchestrating <i>Lactobacillus crispatus</i> Glycogen Metabolism in the Vagina
Glycogen in the female lower reproductive tract is a major carbon source for colonization and acidification by common vaginal <i>Lactobacillus</i> species, such as <i>Lactobacillus crispatus</i>. Previously, we identified the amylopullulanase encoding gene <i>pulA</i...
